Hi All To learn how to use grass I've been trying to solve a real world problem. The problem that I chose was the flash flooding which occurred in south eastern Queensland. I'd like to see if grass could have provided reasonably accurate predictions and see if it could be used as a warning system.
Ideally what I'd like to do is use the archived radar rainfall information from http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDR503.loop.shtml#skip which can be found on http://gw.barratt.com.au/radar/IDR503/2011/01/10/ I am intending extrapolate the rainfall rate using the Z value conversions recommended for east coast lows as per http://www.catchment.crc.org.au/pdfs/technical200207.pdf and then convert the rainfall rate rasters to the resolution of the aster dem. I believe that the CASC2D module was used for this process as aluded to in http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.20.318&rep=rep1&type=pdf however it doesn't appear to be available in the current version of grass. I was contemplating seeing if I could make it work however before muddling along any further I thought that I'd ask for a bit advice. To say the least I'm learning a lot about using grass but my knowledge is still quite basic. My background is on unix/linux systems so I find the environment reasonably comfortable. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Cheers Ian _______________________________________________ grass-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-user
