Flooding from the August 29, 2003, storm on the upper Tagliamento river basin is examined as a prototype for eastern Italian Alps flash flood events that dominate the regional upper tail of flood peak distributions for basin scales up to 500 km2. The availability of high-resolution rainfall estimates from radar observations and raingauge networks, together with flood response observations derived from streamgauge data and post-event surveys, provides the opportunity to study the hydrologic and hydrometeorological controls associated with this extreme flood. The flood occurred at the end of a climatic anomaly of prolonged drought and warm conditions over Europe and the Mediterranean region. A characteristic of the event is its organization in well defined banded structures, some of which persisted in the same locations for the duration of the event. The steadiness of these rainbands led to highly variable precipitation accumulations and, associated with orographic enhancement, played a central role in the space-time organization of the storm. Two dominant controls on extreme flood response are recognised an analysed: steadiness of convective bands, and dry antecedent soil moisture conditions.

Introduction Eastern Italian Alps (Figure 1) in the Friuli region of Italy has been a workshop for hydrologists and geomorphologists to study the hydrological and geomorphological effects of extreme storms (Deganutti et al., 2000; Marchi et al., 2002; Marchi and D’Agostino, 2004). The region includes the upper Tagliamento river basin as the major river system and is characterised by frequent heavy precipitation. Daily rainfall amounts exceeding 500 mm may be locally recorded in this area in a 20 to 30 years time span (Villi et al., 1986; Ceschia et al., 1991). During late fall, winter and spring, heavy precipitations are normally related to synoptic circulations and to southerly humid flows. During summer and partially during fall, the contribution from convective or mesoscale rainfall becomes significant or even prevailing. Due to the rugged topography of the region, together with its densely fractured bedrock and its high seismicity (Querini, 1977), heavy convective precipitations result often in flash floods, associated to diffused landsliding, debris flows and sediment transport. On 29 August 2003, at the end of a prolonged drought, a large atmospheric disturbance interested a wide area in the Central and Eastern Alps, from the Tessin Valley (Switzerland) to Lower Carinthia in Austria. A Meso Scale Convective System affected the study area, starting at 10:00 LST and lasting for approximately 12 hours. Prior to the development of convection, the atmosphere was characterised by strong instability as evidenced by the very high CAPE value on the Udine radio sounding of 29 August 2003 at 06:00 UTC (about 4000 J kg-1 for the CAPE computed based on the most unstable parcel, Figure 2). Precipitable water computed for this radio-sounding amounts to 44 mm and shows that the humidity content of the atmosphere was already high. The storm affected a 1,500 km2 wide area, and caused loss of lives and substantial disruption of the local economy, with damages close to 1 billion Euro (Tropeano et al., 2004). Extreme rainfall and flooding from the August 29, 2003 event are examined here as a prototype of eastern Italian Alps flood events that dominate the upper tail of flood peak distributions for basin scales up to 500 km2. Previous similar flash flood events occurred in this region on June 22, 1996, on September 23-24, 1990, and on September 11, 1983. Radar rainfall observations, combined with data from 15 raingauges, provide high temporal (5 min) and spatial (1 km2) representation of rainfall from the August 2003 storm. A noticeable characteristic of the precipitation event was its organization in well defined banded structures. The steadiness of these rainbands led to highly variable precipitation accumulations. Time series of river stage at a number of gaging stations were combined with indirect discharge measurements to produce flood hydrographs at several river sections. Extensive post-event surveys of peak flows and interviews were carried out to characterise the spatial variability of flood response. The 29 August 2003 flood is also of particular interest because it provides an end member in the spectrum of impacts of antecedent soil moisture on extreme floods. The event resulted indeed as a combination of two extreme events, since very large accumulations of rainfall over 3-6 hours occurred at the end of a climatic anomaly of prolonged drought and warm conditions in Europe and over the Mediterranean. Analysis of temperature records over Europe shows that the 3 months period June–August 2003 has been probably the warmest since 1500 over Western Europe (Casty et al., 2005). The drought culminated in August, but precipitation accumulations were below average since the beginning of the year. At the Udine raingauge station, close to the study area, the cumulative precipitation total for the first eight months of 2003 was around 50% of the climatological average. These conditions brought to very low soil humidity at the beginning of the event. A heavy localised thunderstorm which occurred the day before the flood on a portion of the Fella river system introduced elements of spatial variability in the pattern of soil moisture initial conditions. Whereas it is generally recognised that antecedent soil moisture is of little importance in determining the magnitude of extreme floods (Wood et al., 1990), the August 2003 flood provides a 6 FLOODsite Project Report Contract No:GOCE-CT -2004-505420 counterexample of the possible role of low antecedent soil moisture conditions, when combined with high soil moisture capacity, on reducing the flood response of extreme storms. Large initial losses and non-linearities related to the wetting-up processes and to the extension of the river network to unchannelised topographic elements are examined in this study. These non-linearities and the concentration of rainfall on quasi-stationary convective bands provided a dominant control on scale-dependent flood response in watersheds of the upper Tagliamento river basin. In line with previously published flash-flood monographs (e.g. Smith et al. 1996; Ogden et al. 2000; Gaume et al., 2002, 2004; Delrieu et al., 2005; Hicks et al;

Transnational methodology and models will be defined and implemented for flood risk assessment T and mapping. This results in proposals for flood mitigation measures, adjustments of spatial development plans, assessment tools for economic development in flood plains and raised aware- ness of flood risk of stakeholders, politicians, planners and the public. Assets at risk like industry, power stations and supply in- frastructure will play a key role in the project. anube Floodrisk provide hazard and risk map along the Dan- D ube at large scale. Spatial planning is very complex, regard- ing either its object: the flood risk management project and its environment (ecosystems, landscapes, socio-economics, etc.), or its process, which implies many actors, with different world’s representation and related interests, and who are individually attached to a specific territory. Spatial planning is nowadays an extremely sensitive issue, especially in Danube Catchment, where high population densities within some critical areas, harbors, old traditional settlements, and complex political influences and rela- tions, lead to a situation of permanent disputes regarding the use and destiny of lands.
