The significance of soil moisture in forecasting characteristics of flood events. A statistical analysis in two nested catchments

We examine the feasibility and added value of upscaling point data of soil moisture from a small- to a mesoscale catchment for the purpose of single-event flood prediction. We test the hypothesis that in a given catchment, the present soil moisture status is a key factor governing peak discharge, fl...
