Sää- ja ilmastotieto tehokkaan hulevesien hallinnan tukena nykyisessä ja tulevassa ilmastossa Jarmo Koistinen (Ilmatieteen laitos/UHA) Hilppa Gregow (Ilmatieteen laitos/ILM) sekä Pekka Rossi, Hanna Virta ja Ilari Lehtonen (IL) Juhani Korkealaakso ja Ville Pietiläinen (VTT)
Only weather radars can resolve the time-space patterns of rain generating storm water flooding Convective systems often small and short living (5 km, 1 h): Rule of thumb: use gauges only when the catchment is smaller than 1 km2 Rainfall intensity 20 km ~ 40 mm/h Challenge: weather radar is not as accurate as a gauge.

Good weather radar coverage available in parts of Europe In Finland • 9 C-band Doppler Radars (8 with dual polarization capability) • System utilization rate >98 % • 9 x 500 x 360 precipitation estimates every 5 minutes • ~10 TB/year Radar data exchange NWSs/NORDRAD and OPERA www.knmi.nl/opera EU/Baltrad(+) http://baltrad.eu/ Vaisala HW&SW (RVP 900, IRIS) • Open source
Example: Urban storm water flooding Accumulation at Iso Omena on 13 Jun 2009 8-12 pm (60 mm/2h ≈ typical June accumulation)
Radar network can provide the present climate of area-intensity-duration PDFs R (mm/min) Gauge-based 2 min return 12 periods available only up to Y ~ 100 years. See: MMM/RATU (Suomen Ympäristö 31/2008) & Hulevesiopas 8 4 Return period of 2 minute point intensity 1 10 100 1000 EGU 2008, 15 Apr
The socio-economic issue: optimization and risk management of heavy rain and storm water impacts Active real time local adaptation Thunderstorm rain in Pori: ~120 mm in 3 hours damage 15-20 M€ Underground flooding in Helsinki
Exceedance probabilities are vitally important for risk management and reasonable in meteorological sense A single forecast scenario at a specific location and time period: Probability of exceeding 1 mm/3h = 98 % Probability of exceeding 10 mm/3h = 60 % Probability of exceeding 100 mm/3h = 15 % The tool for obtaining exceedance probabilities is ensemble prediction system (EPS) i.e. instead of a single nowcast we compute multiple alternative scenarios which estimate real probabilities.

Movement of precipitating areas is the basis for 0 – 3 (-6) h long radar EPS • Pilot projects: Tekes/RAVAKE, 2009-12 and EU HAREN & EDHIT • Probabilities computed from 51 members of ensemble forecasts (Koistinen et al. 2012) • Blended with NWP ensembles for lead times 2 h – 5 d • Computationally demanding • Practical user interfaces • The concept of probability • Growth and decay of rainfall systems (and their size & location with NWP)
Exceedance probabilities of intensity and accumulation for each location from ensembles Courtesy of Ville Pietiläinen, VTT Research Centre Practical output: Individual members exceedance probabilities of hourly accumulation Rainfall intensity 5 % exceedance (product update scenario interval 5-15 min) 50 % exceedance scenario 90 % exceedance scenario Nowcast lead time
Dedicated wastewater application Heinonen et al. 2013 Helsinki Region Wastewater Treatment Plant, run by HSY (for 800 000 ihabitants), receives gridded probability scenarios in real time: • 3-hourly accumulation • Update cycle 15 min • Probability scenarios 5, 50 and 90 % • Greater Helsinki region • Grid resolution 1 x 1 km² In general: Application and location -tailored action thresholds are needed for effective real-time adaptation
Active Storm Water Impact Mitigation Objective: Establish tailored mitigation services of storm water impacts based on automatic chained modeling ( ) and forecasting [1 - 6 (- 240) h]. 1. Adaptive measurements and 2. Water flow and level 3. Impact risk modeling rainfall ensemble predictions ensembles on and monitoring, adaptation and under the ground mitigation processes ”Traffic light” flood risk monitoring & forecasts at critical points Real estate level risks (upper) City level risks (lower) ”Traffic light” flood risk monitoring Worst case simulation at & forecasts downtown Helsinki with at critical the severe rain in Pori points Pilot project: J.

Storm water and climate change Climate model result: Change in the largest 24 hourly rainfall (%) 1971-2000 → 2081-2100 in the A1B-scenario • The largest daily rainfall amounts will grow 20-30 % in all seasons • Very little is known of the future climate of convective heavy rainfall – a downscaling challenge (STN proposal) 27.4.2015 12
Basis for active and passive storm water adaptation: Present and future socio-economic impacts ISTO/IRTORISKI Case: Return period 100 years downpour in Greater Helsinki • Direct damage € 110 million • Homes 40M€ (privately owned houses not included), commercial services 20M€, public services 20M€, transport network 15M€, energy network 15M€ • Estimated from earlier studies and actual case reviews • Limited access for 12 weeks • Production interruptions and delays Integrated cost estimation in Finland, an STN proposal lead by FMI Interpreting Welfare Effecs in Induced Economic Impact Evaluation of Extreme Events 27.4.2015 13
