H043: Following the water: observations, modeling, and uncertainty quantification in urban systems Session ID#: 13866 Session Description: Global trends in increasing flooding frequency and urbanization pose observational and modeling challenges to infer the impacts of land use change and green infrastructure on the local hydrology. They also call for the development of methods to secure real-time information during flood propagation through urban areas, but also ground modeling efforts in field measurements. While there has been an increase in the amount of high-resolution geospatial information (e.g., lidar, satellite and drone imaging) and real-time data (in situ and remote sensing, social media), data-model integration remains difficult and uncertainty is rarely assessed. We invite contributions that focus on 1) integration and porting among models to evaluate whole water cycle impacts of land use changes; 2) advance real-time monitoring, data assimilation, and modeling of urban floods to enhance process understanding; and 3) approaches to uncertainty quantification aiming to advance model-based assessment of robustness and forecast skill through deterministic and probabilistic approaches.
