摘要

Extreme rainfall during June 2013 in and around Calgary, Alberta caused extensive flooding and damage in the region. Although the combination of meteorological conditions which led to this rainfall were not uncommon, the high levels of atmospheric moisture and total amounts of rain were extremely rare. Several comparable events have been recorded along the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains from the United States through Alberta. Notable examples include the June 1975 storm near Waterton Red Rocks, Alberta, and the June 1964 storm at Gibson Dam, Montana. Recently, a storm in September of 2013 occurred over the foothills and Front Range of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado and Southern Wyoming. This rainfall event had similar meteorological and topographical stetting when compared to the Calgary storm a few months earlier, with both events producing extreme rainfall and devastating flooding. Applied Weather Associates (AWA) has analyzed each of these events using our Storm Precipitation Analysis System (SPAS) for use in determining Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP), which is then used by hydrologists to compute the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF). These and other storms analyzed with SPAS provide high spatial resolution (approximately 1 square kilometer) and high temporal resolution (as frequent as 5 minutes when weather radar data are available) rainfall information for hydrologic model calibrations and hydrologic investigations. This presentation will provide comparisons of the magnitude and spatial extent of these extreme rainfall events, how the rainfall is enhanced by the similar terrain along the eastern foothills of the Rocky Mountains, how they relate to PMP values in regions where similar storms could occur, and lessons learned regarding recognition and real-time monitoring of the meteorological conditions leading up to and during these types of storms.
