FIC Training - Introduction to Flood Intel Systems
Event description
Target Audience: Flood Intelligence Cell Reservists: People with little or no knowledge of flood intelligence or WaterRIDE and other related systems.
Duration: 4hrs
Location: 1NS, Room 6.1
Content: What is it and how does it work?
- Flood intel
- Flood Intel Officer
- Flooding
- Flood Extent
- Flood Intel sources = what are they ? (wR, Guardian, Enviromon, BOM website, Other websites, Flood Cameras, Flood Gauges, basically anywhere you can get info on flooding from)
- Flood Intel input
- Flood Intel output
- Flood Studies
- Flood Modelling
- Flood Forecast Models
- Hydrology / Ratings Curves / Grids / etc
- Flood Intel accuracy and expectations / common misconceptions / usual things to look for / useful tips / etc
- Datum – mAHD vs LHD – issues with both being used at the same time creating confusion on actual water level
- Basics on how waterRIDE works behind the scenes
- flood studies are pre-loaded in by waterRIDE
- Flood gauge data automatically loaded in from flood gauges
- Flood forecast data from BOM forecast models loaded in automatically
- uses pre-canned surfaces and surface interpolation to produce flood extent based on current/forecast water levels
- each flood gauge has a ZOI
- backwaters
- soil moisture saturation levels – losses
- various models that can be run
- QPF12hr - good when its raining
- ADFD 10% Worset Case
- ADFD 25% Most Likely Case
- ADFD 50% Best Case
- Options: 7 days rain on ground / 7 days rain forecast / etc
- Calibrated Radar
- Merged Rain Radar
