A hybrid physical / statistical model for predicting the probability of very extreme rainfall
I am using the WRF regional climate model to study the relationship between rainfall and runoff at the river basin scale (4km resolution), in particular studying the seasonal change in the runoff coefficient (ratio of runoff to rainfall). We aim to model the probability of extreme rainfall and extreme runoff events under possible future climate change conditions. Extreme runoff events are likely to lead to flooding and we distinguish between surface runoff events, affecting the local area where rainfall occurs, and groundwater runoff extremes which can affect an area away from the rainfall event.
