DEMON: Simulation output from ensemble assimilation of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) water level observations into the Lisflood-FP flood forecast model

This dataset contains simulation results from ensemble assimilation of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) water level observation into Lisflood-FP flood forecast model for the the lower Severn-Avon rivers in the South West United Kingdom. This was run over a 30.6 x 49.8 km (1524 km2) domain, as part of Developing enhanced impact models for integration with next generation NWP and climate outputs (DEMON) project (NE/I005242/1).



COSMO-Skymed Synthetic Aperture Radar (CSK-SAR) data were acquired processed and transformed into Water Level Observations (WLOs) by crossing with LiDAR Digital Terrain Model. Data from Environment Agency (EA) rain gauges were used to estimate precipitation and combined with potential evapotranspiration data from the Met Office's Met Office Rainfall and Evapo-transpiration Calculation System (MORECS) to generate forcings within the "topHSPF" catchment-scale rainfall-runoff hydrologic model. These were used in tern to generate simulated runoff forecast used as the forcing for the coupled Lisflood-FP v5.9 inundation model.



CSK-SAR based WLO were assimilated into ensemble simulations using the Lisflood-FP v5.9 model, run with perturbed physics (friction parameters, bathymetric errors) and runoff inputs from the topHSPF hydrologic model
