Abstract
This paper investigates the applicability of ensemble forecasts of numerical weather prediction (NWP) model for flood forecasting. In this study, 10Â km resolution ensemble rainfalls forecast and their downscaled forecasts of 2Â km resolution were used in the hydrologic model as input data for flood forecasting and application of flood early warning. Ensemble data consists of 51 members and 48 hr forecast time. Ensemble outputs are verified spatially whether they can produce suitable rainfall predictions or not during the 2013 Typhoon No. 18, 'Man-yi' event. Then flood forecasting driven by ensemble outputs is carried out over the Katusra river basin of the Kinki area, Japan.
