Success Rate Evaluation of Severe Storm Phenomena and Flash Floods Forecasting
Author:
Abstract: This article focuses on proposal new methods to predict strong convective storms that can cause flash floods. Flash flood is determined by the interaction of a number of factors such as the very intense convective precipitation (torrential rainfall accompanied by hail and strong wind gusts), slow motion of convective storms and the soil saturation. These factors have been included in the Algorithm of Storm Prediction, whose prediction results are presented in the two outcome of this article. The result section contains an assessment of the success rate of predictions of convective precipitation and storm intensity, which is complemented by the evaluation of the prediction success rate of severe storm phenomena. Primarily, the goal of the algorithm is to provide predictive information about risk of flash floods that comprise all the above mentioned outputs. Secondarily, the orieintally overview of other forecast outputs is part of the second result section.
