Operational and emerging capabilities for surface water flood forecasting
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify three approaches to surface water forecasting using state of the art meteorological forecasts; empirical based scenarios, hydrological forecasts linked to pre-simulated impact scenarios, and, real-time hydrodynamic simulation.

The benefits and challenges of implementing impact-based severe weather warning systems: Perspectives of weather, flood, and emergency management personnel
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the challenges and benefits of impact-based forecast and warning (IBFW) systems as perceived by participants from agencies internationally and within New Zealand, and found that the benefits of implementing IBFW systems included a perceived increase in the understanding of the potential impacts by the public, added awareness of antecedent conditions by forecasters, a possible reduction in “false alarms, and increased inter-agency communication.

Coupling High-Resolution Numerical Weather Prediction and Computational Fluid Dynamics: Auckland Harbour Case Study
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the resilience of large cities and their built infrastructure in New Zealand to extreme winds by coupling the outputs of a very high-resolution, 333m resolution, numerical weather prediction (NWP) model with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations.

Predictive modeling of hourly probabilities for weather-related road accidents
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors study hourly probabilities of road accidents caused by adverse weather conditions in Germany on the spatial scale of administrative districts, using meteorological predictor variables from radar-based precipitation estimates, high-resolution reanalysis and weather forecasts.

Forecasting the impacts of severe weather
Serena Schroeter,Harald Richter,Craig Arthur,David Wilke,Mark Dunford,Martin Wehner,Elizabeth Ebert +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a selection of current severe weather warnings and impact forecasting capabilities globally and highlights uncertainties that limit the forecasting and modelling of multi-hazard events are reviewed. But, providing useful and detailed impact information remains a challenge, and the most advanced systems explicitly and quantitatively model the impacts of hazards on affected assets or infrastructure such as vehicle traffic or housing.

Indices for monitoring changes in extremes based on daily temperature and precipitation data
Xuebin Zhang,Lisa V. Alexander,Gabriele C. Hegerl,Philip Jones,Philip Jones,Albert Klein Tank,Thomas C. Peterson,Blair Trewin,Francis W. Zwiers +8 more
TL;DR: A review of gridding indices of extremes can be found in this article, where the authors discuss the obstacles to robustly calculating and analyzing indices and the methods developed to overcome these obstacles.

The impact of climate change and weather on transport: An overview of empirical findings
Mark J. Koetse,Piet Rietveld +1 more
TL;DR: A survey of the empirical literature on the effects of climate change and weather conditions on the transport sector can be found in this paper, where clear patterns are that precipitation affects road safety by increasing accident frequency but decreasing severity.

Model predictive control for optimal coordination of ramp metering and variable speed limits
TL;DR: In this paper, the optimal coordination of variable speed limits and ramp metering in a freeway traffic network is discussed, where the objective of the control is to minimize the total time that vehicles spend in the network.
