A historical database of 2 km x 2 km 15-minute radar-rainfall estimates was used to study the sizes, shapes, orientations, and depth-area characteristics of storms in Clark County, NV. More than 100,000 individual 15-minute storms were evaluated over a four year period. The size, shape, orientation, track, and the threedimensional characteristics of each storm were cataloged.

Tropical Storm Allison dropped more than 30 inches of rain over metropolitan Houston in June 2001, causing unprecedented flooding and more than $5 billion dollars of damage. Over parts of the city and Harris County, rainfall rates exceeded 3 inches per hour for eight consecutive hours. View Document...
The Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) provides electricity, water, and other services to all or part of 58 counties in Central and Southwest Texas. The LCRA allocates water for current uses and helps plan for future needs. It operates the six Highland Lakes dams to provide protection from floods and a reliable water supply during droughts.

Accurate estimation of the spatial distribution of rainfall is critical to the successful modeling of hydrologic processes. In the past, rainfall distributions have been typically estimated by assuming a spatial geometry tied to point rain gage observations using Thiessen polygons, inverse distance squared weighting, or geostatistical Kriging techniques.

Rainfall distributions from rain gages are typically estimated by assuming a spatial geometry tied to point rain gage observations using, for example, Thiessen polygons, inverse distance squared weighting, or statistical Kriging techniques. View Document...
Real-time weather and flash flood monitoring can save human lives The ability to receive relevant, timely information about local weather empowers organizations to react to impending danger in an effective manner. “Mission-critical” users have some very special needs. View Document...
The ALERT message protocol has proven extremely useful for transmitting event-based hydrometeorological data for over 25 years. It relays real-time data from multiple sensing points to multiple monitoring points at low cost and with good overall efficiency. View Document...
At the National Hydrologic Warning Council meeting in San Diego in May of 1999, Chris Roark of Pacific Systems and Don Van Wie of DIAD Inc. presented a paper that suggested that higher data rates were now feasible for ALERT, and that work should begin on defining a new ALERT protocol that could be economically phased in alongside the present protocol.

A case is developed for implementing a highly effective, integrated local and regional real-time weather monitoring, data dissemination and flood warning system using standard computer systems and software, data formats, network and telecommunications technologies. View Document...
STORM Watch data collection and dissemination The STORM Watch data collection base station is a highly graphical, Microsoft Windows application that collects, stores, analyzes and displays real-time hydrometeorological information. A STORM Watch data collection base station receives ALERT-formatted data from one or more serial ports on the local PC. View Document...
