A methodology for propagating and constraining the uncertainty inherent in real-time flood forecasting is presented and demonstrated on an application to the River Severn, UK. The flood forecasting...
Abstract A manifesto for the equifinality thesis (2008)
This essay discusses some of the issues involved in the identification and predictions of hydrological models given some calibration data. The reasons for the incompleteness of traditional...
An Intelligent and Adaptable Grid-based Flood Monitoring and Warning System (2008)
Danny Hughes, Phil Greenwood, Gordon Blair, Geoff Coulson, Paul Smith, Keith Beven
Flooding is a growing problem in the UK. It has a significant effect on residents, businesses and commuters in flood-prone areas. The cost of damage caused by flooding correlates closely with the...
An Experiment with Reflective Middleware to Support Grid-based Flood Monitoring (2008)
Danny Hughes, Phil Greenwood, Gordon Blair, Geoff Coulson, Paul Grace, Paul Smith, ...
Flooding is a growing problem, which affects more than 10 % of the UK population. The cost of damage caused by flooding correlates closely with the warning time given before a flood event, making...
An Intelligent and Adaptable Grid-based Flood Monitoring and Warning System (DRAFT) (2008)
Danny Hughes, Phil Greenwood, Gordon Blair, Geoff Coulson, Paul Smith, Keith Beven
Flooding is a growing problem in the UK. It has a significant effect on residents, businesses and commuters in flood-prone areas. The cost of damage caused by flooding correlates closely with the...
An Adaptable WSN-based Flood Monitoring System (2008)
Danny Hughes, Gordon Blair, Geoff Coulson, Phil Greenwood, Barry Porter, Paul Smith, ...
Abstract. Flooding is a serious and increasing problem. As a result, there is a need to deploy more sophisticated sensor networks to detect and react to flooding. This paper outlines a demonstration...

The language and tools of risk and uncertainty estimation in flood risk management (FRM) are rarely optimized for the extant communication challenge. This paper develops the rationale for a pragmatic...

Much has been done to mitigate the effects of intermittent discharges of pollutants; however, pollution incidents still occur, and the downstream transport and dispersion of pollutants must be...

The importance of surface hydrological processes on land surface-atmospheric fluxes is currently a major topic of investigation. It has been shown that the division of available energy into latent...
It is argued that the aggregation approach towards macroscale hydrological modelling, in which it is assumed that a model applicable at small scales can be applied at larger scales using effective...
The future of distributed models: model calibration and uncertainty prediction. (1992)
This paper describes a methodology for calibration and uncertainty estimation of distributed models based on generalized likelihood measures. The GLUE procedure works with multiple sets of parameter...
Three-dimensional modelling of hillslope hydrology. (1992)
Physically-based models of catchment hydrology are computationally demanding. the cost of even small scale simulations of multidimensional subsurface flow problems is often considered too high and...
