	abstract = {Flash floods caused by convective rain storms are highly sensitive to the space{\textendash}time character- istics of rain cells. In this study we exploit the high space{\textendash}time resolution of the radar data to study the characteristics of the rain cells and their impact on flash flood magnitudes. A rain cell model is applied to the radar data of an actual storm and the rain fields represented by the model further serve as input into a hydrological model. Global sensitivity analysis is applied to identify the most important factors affecting the flash flood peak discharge. As a case study we tested an extreme storm event over a semi-arid catchment in southern Israel. The rain cell model was found to simulate the rain storm adequately. We found that relatively small changes in the rain cell{\textquoteright}s location, speed and direction could cause a three-fold increase in flash flood peak discharge at the catchment outlet.},
