Flash Flood Hydrology & QPE Workshop Home Page

Welcome to the COMET Flash Flood Hydrology & QPE Workshop Home Page! This 3-day course is designed primarily for forecasters and Service Hydrologists at the WFOs. It will look into the hydrologic processes of flash floods and the current state of the art with respect to Quantitative Precipitation Estimation (QPE). The participant will gain a more thorough understanding of the science behind Flash Flood Guidance (FFG) and the impacts of different soil types, land use, and slope. Case Review exercises will use the Flash Flood Monitoring and Prediction (FFMP) software. The participant will also learn about modeling flash floods, particularly with distributed hydrologic models.
