This research focuses on enhancing urban pluvial flood forecasting through high-resolution rainfall data processing, conducted at an experimental site in Redbridge. Led by Prof. Čedo Maksimović, Dr. Christian Onof, and Li-Pen Wang from Imperial College London, the study employs advanced nowcasting techniques, calibration, and downscaling methods to improve rainfall predictions with longer lead times. By integrating meteorological data, radar observations, and innovative statistical models, the aim is to provide more reliable flood forecasts, benefiting urban planning and disaster management.

Aim to carry out high-resolution rainfall forecasting with longer lead time Rainfall data processing
Possible improvements in Nowcasting, Calibration & Downscaling • Information based upon NWP outputs • Advection of rainfields • Larger-scale weather variations • Enhanced radar observations • X-Band radar and ground raingauge data • Super-resolution techniques to improve the spatial resolution • Statistically-based space-time downscaling techniques • Cascade-based spatial disaggregation method • Temporal correlation between successive rainfields
Cran Brook catchment in the London borough of Redbridge Experimental site
Three real-time accessible tipping bucket raingauges over the Redbridge catchment (frequency: 1 – 5 min)
Real-time access to 30+ weather monitoring systems in each London Borough (frequency: 30 min)
Two sensors for water depth measurement in sewers (frequency: 5/10 min)
One sensors for water depth measurement in open channels (frequency: 5-10 min)
