Session: Precipitation and Urban Hydrology

HS7.6 | NH1

Dear colleagues,

As in recent years, we will be convening the interdisciplinary session on Precipitation and Urban Hydrology at EGU22 and would like to invite you to contribute to it. Deadline for abstract submission is 12th January 2022 (13:00 CET). Additional information is given below.

This session focuses on high-resolution precipitation and hydrological measurements in cities and on approaches to improve the modelling and management of urban hydrological response, including:

 

- Novel techniques for high-resolution precipitation measurement in cities and for multi-sensor data merging to improve the representation of urban precipitation fields.
- Novel approaches to hydrological field measurements in cities, including data obtained from citizen observatories.
- Precipitation modelling for urban applications, including, amongst others, convective permitting models and stochastic rainfall generators.
- Novel approaches to modelling urban catchment properties and hydrological response, from physics-based, conceptual and data-driven models to stochastic and statistical conceptualisation.
- Applications of measured precipitation fields to urban hydrological models to improve hydrological prediction at different time horizons to ultimately enable improved management of urban drainage systems (including catchment strategy development, flood forecasting and management, real-time control and proactive protection strategies aimed at preventing flooding and pollution).
- Strategies to deal with upcoming challenges, including climate change and rapid urbanisation.
