Understanding Uncertainty in Probabilistic Floodplain Mapping in the Time of Climate Change

Abstract: An integrated framework was employed to develop probabilistic floodplain maps, taking into account hydrologic and hydraulic uncertainties under climate change impacts. To develop the maps, several scenarios representing the individual and compounding effects of the models’ input and parameters uncertainty were defined. Hydrologic model calibration and validation were performed using a Dynamically Dimensioned Search algorithm. A generalized likelihood uncertainty estimation method was used for quantifying uncer… Show more

“…Parameters' distributions can be obtained using nominal probability models from expert's knowledge (Kalyanapu et al., 2012; Stephens & Bledsoe, 2020) or statistically calibrated ones generally via the GLUE methodology (G. T. Aronica et al., 2012; Di Baldassarre et al., 2010; Kiczko et al., 2013; Romanowicz & Kiczko, 2016; Zahmatkesh et al., 2021). In this work, epistemic uncertainty will be represented by probability distributions in the roughness parameters only, for the floodplain and for the channel, considering all other parameters, such as DEM or channel bathymetry, as constant regarding the calibration procedure.…”

“…That is, defining a distribution for the uncertain discharge for a given return period. This includes accounting for statistical fitting errors due to limited‐length data and distribution family (Apel et al., 2008; G. T. Aronica et al., 2012; Neal et al., 2013; Romanowicz & Kiczko, 2016; Stephens & Bledsoe, 2020; Winter et al., 2018), additional forcing variables such as flood volume (Candela & Aronica, 2017) or sea‐level rise (Muñoz et al., 2022), or more general hydrograph shape uncertainties through hydrological modeling (Ahmadisharaf et al., 2018; Falter et al., 2015; Grimaldi et al., 2013; Meresa et al., 2021; Zahmatkesh et al., 2021). Others have focused on including uncertainty in the inundation model through its most sensitive parameters such as roughness coefficients (G. T. Aronica et al., 2012; Bharath & Elshorbagy, 2018; Di Baldassarre et al., 2010; Kalyanapu et al., 2012; Kiczko et al., 2013; Romanowicz & Kiczko, 2016), Digital Elevation Maps (DEM) (Apel et al., 2008), or cross‐section geometrical properties (Stephens & Bledsoe, 2020).…”
