However, rainfall area which concentrates on south part of Taiwan is similarly distributed. 2Comparing corrected GSMaP with ground gauged rainfall, corrected GSMaP is better than GSMaP row data. 7

9 Integrated Flood Analysis System IFAS Toolkit to implement Global Flood Alert System (GFAS) Streamflow

10 Design concept of IFAS 1. To prepare interfaces to get satellite-based rainfall data in addition to ground-based rainfall data, to secure the worldwide availability of input data for flood forecasting/analysis system. 2. To adopt two types of distributed-parameter hydrologic models, the parameters of which can be estimated as the first approximation based on globally-available GIS databases to secure the worldwide availability of hydrologic models for flood forecasting/analysis. 3. To implement GIS analysis modules in the system to set up the parameters for the flood forecasting/analysis model, therefore no need to depend on external GIS softwares. 5. To prepare a series of easy-to-understand graphical user interfaces for data input, modeling, runoff-analysis, and displaying the outputs. 6. To distribute the executable program, free of charge, from the ICHARM/PWRI website 10

11 Use of Satellite Information 1 ) Satellite-based rainfall data TMPA-3B42RT (NASA) QMORPH/CMORPH (NOAA) GSMaP (JST/CREST, OPU, JAXA etc.) Global coverage : between 60N-60S latitude Mesh size: 0.25 degrees (25km) or 0.1 degree (10km) 3) Adjustment of Satellite Rainfall 1. Self adjustment within observations 2. Physically-based statistcal adjustment Automatic Data Extraction for area of interest Provided by NASA, NOAA, JAXA and IFNet-GFAS through the Internet for free 2) Ground-based rainfall data Observed local data (The source of local ownership of forecasts) Data assimilation with ground observations 4. Regional model + AGCM + Satellite observations
