1 PREVIEW - Sixth Framework Programme PREVention Information and Early Warning WP4340 “Very Short-Range Flash Flood Laboratory” Leader: MeteoFrance Start date of the project: APRIL 1 st 2005 Duration: 45 months Partners: MeteoFrance (F), ARPA Piemonte (I), LTHE Grenoble (F), MeteoSwiss (CH), NOA (GR), NOVELTIS (F) Overall objective: The overall purpose of WP4340 is to improve the very short-range forecast of Mediterranean flash-floods over medium basins, based on the next generation European high-resolution NWP models.

2 Sub-themes: 1.Value of the near-future high-resolution NWP precipitation forecasts (MF, ARPAP, MS, NOA, NOV) 2.Two-way/one-way coupling (LTHE, ARPAP, MF) 3. Common protocol and framework for hydro-meteorological coupling (MF, LTHE, ARPAP, MS, NOA, NOV) 4.Verification approaches and inter-comparison facilities (NOV, MF, LTHE, ARPAP, MS, NOA) 5.End-users (ARPAP, MF, LTHE, MS, NOA, NOV) Pilot Sites: Cévennes-Vivarais region (Southeastern France) Piedmont region (Northern Italy) Test Cases: 1-3 December 2003 (CV) 4 November 2004 (CV) 5-9 September 2005 (CV) 4-6 June 2002 (P) 1-2 September 2002 (P)

3 Meteorological models involved: LAMI (Italy, 2.8 km) aLMo2 (Switzerland, 2.2 km) MM5 (Greece, 2.5 km) MesoNH (France, 2.5 km)

4 First tests with aLMo2 over Piedmont Forecast started 5 June 00 UTC, 12h precipitation from 5 June 12 UTC to 6 June 00 UTC aLMo7 aLMo2Radar Next meeting: 30-31 October 2006 in Torino
