TL;DR: The field study of the Selka Sora flash flood outlines the importance of geomorphological surveys as a prerequisite for flood discharge reconstruction in mountainous watersheds with active sediment dynamics, the basic role of the accounts of eyewitnesses of the flood, and the need of quality controlled weather radar, which permit coupling field observations with rainfall-runoff modelling as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, a two-step procedure is implemented for estimating the rain estimation accuracy: (i) first kriging normalized ESDs are computed by using normalized variograms (sill equal to 1) to account for the observation system configuration and the spatial structure of the variable of interest (rainfall amount, residuals to the drift).

TL;DR: In this paper, a distributed hydrologic and hydraulic modelling has been carried out to assess and compare the various sources of data collected operationally and during the post-event field surveys.

TL;DR: In this article, detailed surveys of high-water marks and channel/floodplain geometry are used for hydrologic analyses of the Selska Sora flood, including estimation of peak discharge at 21 sites.

TL;DR: In this paper, an interview framework is proposed to explore the link between crisis behavioral response and hydrometeorological dynamics, aiming at understanding the spatial and temporal capacities and constraints on human behaviors in fast-evolving hydrometerological conditions.
