La performance de deux modèles simples de prévision de crues en temps réelle est traitée et comparée. La première approche, appelée RCM-RT, est basée sur la courbe d'estimation du Modèle (RCM) et produit, en incluant seulement deux paramètres, des estimations futures du débit et du niveau d'eau aux sites de rivière où seulement le niveau est surveillé tandis que le débit est connu à une section en amont. Le second modèle, nommé MHBA, est décrit par une formulation stochastique linéaire de l'onde de propagation de crue et il est basé seulement sur le niveau du tirant d'eau. Les deux modèles nécessitent que le temps de manoeuvre de la surveillance et les paramètres soient identifiés à priori à travers une phase de calibration incluant différents évènements observés. Les deux modèles ont été testés sur un long tronçon de la rivière PO (Nord de l'Italie) pour plusieurs crues. Les résultats obtenus montrent que les deux modèles donnent en moyenne une prévision précise des hauteurs d'eau 32 heures à l'avance.

Abstract
The performance of two simple models for real-time flood forecasting is investigated and compared. The first approach, named as RCM-RT, is based on the Rating Curve Model (RCM) and provides, involving only two parameters, future estimates of both discharge and water level at a river site where only the stage is monitored while the flow is known at an upstream section. The second model, named MHBA, is described by a linear stochastic formulation of flood wave propagation and is based only on stage data. Both models require that the forecast lead-time and the parameters are identified a-priori through a calibration phase involving different observed flood events. The two models are tested on a long reach of the Po River (northern Italy) for several flood events. The obtained results show that both models provide on average accurate forecast water levels 32 hours in advanceFile | Dimensione | Formato | |
