TL;DR: The Convective Precipitation Experiment (COPE) was a joint U.K. and U.S. field campaign held during the summer of 2013 in the southwest peninsula of England, designed to study convective clouds that produce heavy rain leading to flash floods as discussed by the authors.
Recommendations for Improving Integration in National End-to-End Flood Forecasting Systems: An Overview of the FFIR (Flooding From Intense Rainfall) Programme.

Chen,Jessica Moloney,Jessica Moloney,Chloé Largeron,Xilin Xia,Xilin Xia,Stephen Blenkinsop,Adrian J. Champion,Adrian J. Champion,Matthew T. Perks,Niall Quinn,Linda Speight +18 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the feasibility of enhancing the integration of an end-to-end forecasting system for flash and surface-water floods to help increase the lead time for warnings for these events.
Improvements in Forecasting Intense Rainfall: Results from the FRANC (Forecasting Rainfall Exploiting New Data Assimilation Techniques and Novel Observations of Convection) Project
