Potentials and constraints of different types of soil moisture observations for flood simulations in headwater catchments

Abstract: Flood generation in mountainous headwater catchments is governed by rainfall intensities, by the spatial distribution of rainfall and by the state of the catchment prior to the rainfall, e.g. by the spatial pattern of the soil moisture, groundwater conditions and possibly snow. The work presented here explores the limits and potentials of measuring soil moisture with different methods and in different scales and their potential use for flood simulation. These measurements were obtained in 2007 and 2008 within … Show more

“…Thus, information describing the wetness of a catchment prior to a flood event is increasingly being introduced into flood warning tools (e.g. Brocca et al, 2009;Bronstert et al, 2012;Graeff et al, 2012). One hydrological variable frequently found to be nonlinearly related to runoff is soil moisture, which impacts the catchment runoff response at the field and headwater scale (Ali et al, 2010;Brocca et al, 2010;Zehe et al, 2010).…”

“…One hydrological variable frequently found to be nonlinearly related to runoff is soil moisture, which impacts the catchment runoff response at the field and headwater scale (Ali et al, 2010;Brocca et al, 2010;Zehe et al, 2010). Typically referred to as antecedent soil moisture, pre-event soil moisture or antecedent wetness condition, the spatiotemporal dynamics of the soil moisture are commonly used to describe the internal state of a catchment which expresses the sensitivity of the catchment to generating surface flow, subsurface flow and to triggering base flow (Bronstert et al, 2012;Casper et al, 2007). The internal status of a catchment can be also expressed easily by e.g.…”
