A Study of Flash-flood Occurrences at a Site Versus Over a Forecast Zone

Pages : 20
Book Description
"A flash flood is a flood in which the rapid rise in stream level and the resulting inundation follows the observable causative event by about four hours or less. For rain-caused flash floods meteorology is complex, and limited amounts of real-time data make timely forecasts of exact location very difficult. Lack of reports of flash-flood occurrences adds to the difficulty. Many occur that are never reported to the National Weather Service (NWS)"--Introduction.

Book Description
Two commonly used methods of hydrologic analyses are parametric reconstruction and development of frequency distributions. Both techniques can be used to develop estimates of potential of damaging flash floods. However, under conditions of limited data, many areas may not have experienced enough flash floods to be recognized as prone to flash flooding. This paper gives a method to infer expected severity for flooding based on frequency analysis, which does not require a complete spectrum of data over a given basin. This method was used to estimate potential peak flows on Sabino Canyon, Arizona, and probability of occurrence of specified magnitudes was analyzed. These estimates indicate a strong possibility of damaging flash floods occurring in areas where none have occurred in several decades.
Study of a Heavy Precipitation Occurrence in Redding, California

Book Description
"On August 14 and IS, 1976, heavy thunderstorms moved through northern California. The heaviest area of precipitation was in the area west and north of Redding, California. The rain felI at such a rapid rate that normal drains could not handle the water and several areas of the city received water and mud damage from the overflow. The Army Corps of Engineers dispatched personnel to the Redding area to compiIe and verify rainfalI amounts measured by the local residents. Their findings showed rain amounts in excess of 8 inches, with rainfalI rates of 2-1/2 inches per hour. This paper discusses the synoptic pattern preceding and during the thunderstorms. The precipitation pattern is discussed, using the radar displays from the WSR-57 radars at Medford, Oregon and Sacramento, California"--Introduction

Book Description
"During summer the interior of the United States and northern Mexico west of the Continental Divide experience frequent intrusions of moist tropical air. In the months of July and August the greatest northward flux occurs. June and September are transition months from spring to summer and summer to falI, respectively. During these months, particularly June, there is a predominance of rather dry air-mass conditions"--Introduction
