Self-organizing maps of typhoon tracks allow for flood forecasts up to two days in advance

Tropical cyclones can cause severe flooding when making landfall, but these water flows can often only be forecasted a few hours before. Here, the authors present a new approach using self-organizing maps and flow characteristic curves to predict tropical cyclone related runoff up to two days in adv...
