What can we do?
Change weather?Fortunately we can’t
Estimate flooding possibility?We might!
Matthias B. Schmidt 5
X-Band Radars
High spatial resolution (60m)
High temporal resolution (30s)

Masterthesis - Goals
Hydrology: Higher resolution (X-Band) better?
Flash flooding forecasting possible?
Calculation of flooding probability
Matthias B. Schmidt 8
Masterthesis - Tools
Shetran“a physically-based spatially-distributed hydrological model“ (J. Ewen et al. (2000))
Radar EnsembleCovariance (U. Germann et al. (2008))
Fractals
Matthias B. Schmidt 9
Masterthesis - Shetran
Water Flow componentCanopy interception
Evaporation and transpiration
Surface run-off
Transfer between subsurface and river water
Storage and flow in VSS
Matthias B. Schmidt 10
“spatially-distributed“
Matthias B. Schmidt 11
Masterthesis - Shetran
“physically based”Conservation of mass
Saint-Venant Eq. (a.k.a. Shallow Water Eq.)
Penman-Monteith Eq.
Boussinesq and Richards Eq.
Numerically solvedImplicit, finite differences

Student Research
Real-time Radar calibrationBased on single pulse data
Dynamic Clutter detectionWithout Doppler and Polarimetry
Matthias B. Schmidt 37
Student Research – Radar calibration
Single-Pulse dataTime-critical code necessary
Fortran core
real-time calibration possible
Matthias B. Schmidt 38
Student Research – clutter detection
Difficult: No Doppler, no dual pol
Statistical approachNot only clutter map
Not much recent research (everybody has Doppler)
