Short summary
The study is an investigation on the propagation of hydro-meteorological uncertainty within a model cascade applied to flood prediction. Uncertainty is evaluated at meteorological and hydrological levels in a hindcast scenario, which allows for its generation from the rainfall prediction to its interaction at a catchment level, and propagation to an estimated inundation area and depth. A complex aggregation of errors is demonstrated with larger effect on inundation depths than flood extents.
