Week Three : 30 October - 3 November 2017
This week's focus in on three modules on flood frequency analysis, flash flood processes, and flood forecasting.
The Flood Frequency Analysis module explains key terms and provides examples of different flood frequency concepts, such as return period and exceedance probability.
The Flash Flood Processes module examines both the hydrologic and meteorological processes that often contribute to the development of flash flooding. Common tools and technologies that are used in flash flood monitoring and forecasting, from manual gauging systems to complex radar- and satellite-based runoff models, are explored.
The third module, Flood Forecasting Case Study, presents a tour of a forecast centre, and lets you visualise a series of activities involved in handling a flood forecasting scenario.
Be sure to complete each module's quiz with a passing score. If you haven't done so in Week Two, decide on your Final Writing Assignment topic and post to the forum.
