摘要
The Soil Conservation Service Curve Number (SCS CN) method is an efficient and widely used method for determining the direct runoff (effective rainfall) from a storm event for flood disaster assessment (rainfall-runoff modelling). The CN can be estimated based on the area's hydrologic soil group (HSG), land use/cover, and hydrologic condition. The two former factors are of greater importance in determining the CN value. This study reports an attempt to derive a global CN map. First, HSG was classified from digital soil maps. Second, CN was estimated as a function of HSG, land-cover classification, and hydrologic conditions according to USDA (1986) and NEH-4 (1997) standard lookup tables. Potential applications of this CN map may include real-time global flood assessment by incorporating an operational multisatellite precipitation estimation system (e.g. http://trmm.gsfc.nasa.gov).
