Application of weather radar data in urban hydrological applications has evolved
significantly during the past decade as an alternative to traditional rainfall observations with …

Cities are increasingly vulnerable to floods generated by intense rainfall, because of
urbanisation of flood-prone areas and ongoing urban densification. Accurate information of …

Extreme rainfall is quantified in engineering practice using Intensity–Duration–Frequency
curves (IDF) that are traditionally derived from rain-gauges and more recently also from …

The performance of urban drainage systems is typically examined using hydrological and
hydrodynamic models where rainfall input is uniformly distributed, ie, derived from a single …

Rain gauges and weather radars do not measure rainfall at the same scale; roughly 20 cm
for the former and 1 km for the latter. This significant scale gap is not taken into account by …

Hydrological models are extensively used in urban water management, development and
evaluation of future scenarios and research activities. There is a growing interest in the …

This paper presents an open-access data set of reanalysed radar reflectivities and rainfall
rates at sub-kilometre spatial and minute temporal scales. Variability at these scales is a …

During the last decades, the urban hydrological cycle has been strongly modified by the built
environment, resulting in fast runoff and increasing the risk of waterlogging. Nature-Based …

Rainfall-runoff simulations in urban environments require meteorological input data with
high temporal and spatial resolutions. The availability of precipitation data is constantly …

In this paper we suggest to innovatively use scaling laws and more specifically Universal
Multifractals (UM) to analyse simulated surface runoff and compare the retrieved scaling …
