California Flash Floods of Winter 1995

9520109乔治亚科斯将通过调查受影响地区，从联邦和州机构收集洪水数据，并利用历史、地形、水文气象和其他数据库资料，为加利福尼亚州的关键地区绘制可能发生洪水的地图，对1995年冬季的加利福尼亚州山洪进行研究。这一事件的数据将用于验证估计，如有必要，还将修改洪水潜势算法的设计。一旦得到验证，该数学模型将被用于一系列敏感性实验，以提供定量的答案，以回答土地利用变化对山洪潜力指数的幅度和重现间隔的影响，以及山沟地形先前土壤水分的作用。由此生成的原型山洪潜力图将在活动中具有价值，例如在设计小大坝的安全标准、评估山洪风险以及与雷达降雨数据相结合时在早期预警中。***

9520109 Georgakakos The California flash floods of winter 1995 will be studied by surveying the affected areas, collecting flood data from Federal and State agencies and by using historical, topographical, hydrometeorological and other database information to develop flash flood potential maps for critical areas in the state of California. Data of this event will be used to validate the estimates and, if necessary, to modify the design of the flash flood potential algorithm. Once validated, the mathematical model will be used in a series of sensitivity experiments to provide, quantitative answers to questions such as the effect of land use changes on the magnitude and recurrence interval of the flash flood potential index and the role of antecedent soil moisture of mountainou terrain. The resultant prototype flash flood potential maps will be of value in activities such as in the design of the safety criteria of small dams, in the assessment of the flash flood risk, and in early warning when combined with radar rainfall data. ***
