Local influence of south-east France topography and land cover on the distribution and characteristics of intense rainfall cells

Abstract: The Greater Lyon area is strongly built up, grouping 58 communes and a population of 1.3 million in approximately 500 km 2 . The flood risk is high as the territory is crossed by two large watercourses and by streams with torrential flow. Floods may also occur in case of runoff after heavy rain or because of a rise in the groundwater level. The whole territory can therefore be affected, and it is necessary to possess in-depth knowledge of the depths, causes and consequences of rainfall to achieve better manage… Show more

“…The land surface itself has an important influence on heavy precipitation. According to Funatsu and Waugh (2008) and Renard (2017) local land surface characteristics exert primary control on the existence and strength of convection (i.c. occurrence, intensity and area of rainfall or precipitation cells).…”

“…According to Smith et al (1994a) and Javier Julie Rose et al (2010) heavy precipitation exhibits large spatial and temporal variability. The precipitation (spatiotemporal) variability can be further increased by the storm's propagation mechanism (Smith et al, 1996), the storm's microstructure (Smith et al, 2001) and the irregularity of the topography (Yu et al, 2015) or land slope (Renard, 2017), especially in mountainous areas (Buytaert et al, 2006;Pinto et al, 2013;Yang et al, 2017b) and in urban areas even in a small area (Piotrowski, 2017). In this respect one can consider the altitude, slope and aspect of the topography that influence rain shading and wind speed and so precipitation variability.…”

“…The connection between terrain and irradiance appears to be complex and not easily explained with hourly data (Tables 2 and 3). of objects with features of the same magnitude (Anselin, 2010;Renard, 2017). This index enables statistically significant groups with high (HH) and low (LL) error values to be distinguished.…”
