1. How variations of the duration and time to peak of the Chicago Design Storm affect the hydraulic response, as well as the areas contributing to peak runoff, of a synthetic urban catchment area
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapsläraAbstract : With an expanding urbanization in the world, and thus the expansion of impermeable surfaces, the risk of pluvial floods is an increasing factor that needs to be considered. This, in combination with increasing rain intensities and frequency of rain events indicates a problem both today and for the future. READ MORE

2. The influence of spatial variations in rain intensity for cloudburst modelling : a case study of the Gävle cloudburst
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : With an intensification of heavy rain events in a changing climate and a rapid urbanization the risk for pluvial flooding is increasing in our societies. Pluvial flooding, which is formed when the rainfall rate exceeds the infiltration or drainage rate, can occur rapidly and cause great damages, large economic losses and possibly risk human lives.

3. How design storms with normally distributed intensities customized from precipitation radar data in Sweden affect the modeled hydraulic response to extreme rainfalls
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapsläraAbstract : Intense but short-term cloudbursts may cause severe flooding in urban areas. Such short-term cloudbursts mostly are of convective character, where the rain intensity may vary considerably within relatively small areas. Using uniform design rains where maximum intensity is assumed over the whole catchment is common practice in Sweden, though. READ MORE

4. High frequency rainfall data disaggregation with a random cascade model : Identifying regional differences in hyetographs in Sweden
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : The field of urban hydrology is in need of high temporal resolution data series in order to effectively model and analyse existing and future trends in extreme precipitation. When high resolution data sets are, for any number of reasons, not available for a given location, the technique of disaggregation using a random cascade model can be applied. READ MORE

5. Investigating the relationship between circulation patterns and cloudburst character in a changing climate
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapsläraAbstract : The consequences of extreme weather in terms of heavy precipitation and flooding are devastating in both rural and urban areas. The cost on society to handle the damages are substantial. It is therefore of high interest to further investigate the mechanisms behind these extreme events. READ MORE
