International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development Kathmandu, Nepal Mandira Singh Shrestha Satellite rainfall application in the Narayani basin CORDEX South Asia science workshop Kathmandu, Nepal th August 2013

Presentation outline  Satellite rainfall estimates  Hydrological modelling using GeoSFM  Study area  Input data  Intercomparison of products  Calibration and validation  Results

One third of the disaster are floods Pakistan floods: 2000 killed, 20 million affected Uttarakhand disaster: >5000 killed, millions affected Most floods are transboundary which requires cooperation across borders

Why satellite rainfall estimate?  Inadequate density of hydrometeorological stations  Delay in data transmission  Not adequate lead time – limited data sharing across transboundary borders Failure to Capture Significant Rainfall

Application of satellite-based rainfall estimates Objective 1: Assess the accuracy of satellite-based rainfall estimates and make intercomparisons Objective 2:Applying the satellite- based rainfall estimates for flood prediction and integration of snow and glacier into rainfall runoff modelling

Satellite - based rainfall estimate: NOAA CPC-RFE2.0  Initial version became operational in January 2001  Originally run over the African continent then expanded to southern Asia and western Asia / eastern Europe  Product is a combination of surface and satellite precipitation information  Spatial resolution: 0.1 degree  Temporal resolution: daily  Domain: 5 o to 40 o N, 60 o to 110 o E

Methodology for verification of satellite-based rainfall estimates

Study area: Narayani basin Basin characteristics:  Located in central Nepal  Catchment area = 32, 000 km 2  Elevation variation m  More than 70% of rainfall occurs in monsoon  High spatial and temporal variation of precipitation 200 mm – 6000 mm

Study area and hydrometeorological network

Input data Spatial datasets  Digital Elevation Model: Hydro 1k DEM  Soil data (FAO)  Landcover (USGS) Dynamic datasets (daily time series)  Satellite rainfall estimates: NOAA CPC_RFE2.0 rainfall estimates Period: 2003 – 2004  Gauge observed rainfall (DHM)  Discharge data – period of record (DHM)

Rainfall bias: Narayani

Intercomparison Accumulated June, July, August and September rainfall for 2003

Comparison of annual rainfall

GeoSFM model overview  GeoSFM simulates the dynamics of runoff processes by using remotely sensed and widely available global datasets  Catchment scale modeling framework  Semi-distributed hydrologic model  Inputs aggregated to the catchment level  GIS based Modeling  ArcView 3.0 environment

GeoSFM model framework Hydrologic simulation Terrain analysis Basin characteristics Basin response Soil water balance Streamflow generation Semi distributed hydrologic model Inputs Precipitation PET Spatial information database DEM, Soil, Landcover Outputs Discharge Soil moisture  Semi-distributed, physically based hydrologic model  Simulates runoff process using remotely sensed data and global datasets  Graphical user interface within GIS for model input and visualization (ArcView version 3.x with the Spatial Analyst Extension)

Geospatial Stream Flow Model (GeoSFM)) Routing Muskingum-Cunge Diffusion Lag Water Balance Outlet Sub-basin 3 Main channel Sub-basin 2 Sub-basin Sub-basin 1 Main channel 1D 2D  Subbasins are the modeling units for water balance and routing Source: Guleid Artan GeoSFM rainfall-runoff component has three main modules: water balance, catchment routing, and distributed channel routing

Model components  Terrain analysis module  Parameter estimation module  Data preprocessing module  Water balance module  Flow routing module  Post-processing module

GeoSFM modelling  39 subbasins were considered  Hydro 1K DEM - hydrologic parameters, such as slope, aspect, flow direction, and accumulation were derived  focused in particular on the months of June, July, August, and September (the monsoon season)  gridded gauge observed rainfall data for the monsoons of 2003 and 2004 were used in the GeoSFM to predict floods

Model performance indicator Nash Sutcliff Coefficient of Efficiency (NSCE) where O i is observed discharge, S i is simulated discharge, and is the mean value of the observed discharge.

Model calibration and validation Observed and simulated streamflow at Devghat using 2003 monsoon gauge observed rainfall (June to September) NSCE = 0.84, Correlation = 0.94 Observed and simulated streamflow at Devghat using 2004 monsoon gauge observed rainfall (June to September) NSCE =0.77, Correlation 0.94

Comparison of observed and simulated with CPC_RFE Comparison of observed and simulated daily flows at Devghat using gauge observed rainfall and RFE data as input rainfall (June to September 2003)

Why bias-correction?  Regional and country level satellite-based rainfall estimates have indicated discrepancies between SRE and gauge observed rainfall  The uncertainty involved in Geo-SFM modeling that has been observed using the SRE  Bring observed and predicted/estimated values as close to each other as possible  The bias in precipitation was found to vary spatially in a given domain/basin

Methods of bias-adjustment  Ratio based or multiplicative bias-adjustment  Ingestion of local rain gauges into the RFE algorithm  Anomaly – based bias adjustment  Correcting the mean and coefficient of variation  Many other methods

RFE and improved RFE: Narayani basin Basin averaged RFE Basin averaged Improved RFE

Improved RFE RFE-the shape of precipitation is given by the combination of satellite estimates, magnitude is inferred from GTS station data, need the maximum availability of the rain gauge stations - Incorporate more gauge data for improved rainfall estimates

Summary  Using new technology and advanced scientific knowledge for monitoring, assessing, forecasting and communicating information  Data formats are important as data preparation takes a lot of time and energy  Good quality insitu data is essential for model calibration and validation  Improved understanding of flood forecasting methods and models  More accurate (quantitative) and high resolution data are necessary for reasonable flood predictions. It is difficult to predict the floods quantitatively using current satellite based data. We can only give an indication of probability of occurrence  Intercomparison of satellite based rainfall estimates and models for flood forecasting needs to be further explored.  Continued training and capacity building in state of the art technology such as application of satellite-based precipitation in the region is necessary to enhance flood risk management.
