Rainfall Estimation by Opportunistic Use of Communications Satellite Signals: Facts and Myths Revealed

Rainfall Estimation by Opportunistic Use of Communications Satellite Signals: Facts and Myths Revealed

 

SCORE project partners from MBI, CNR and UNIPI have presented a paper at the 4th URSI AT-RASC. It is available in open access. 

 

Accurate weather forecasting on a very precise scale in time/space domains (i.e., nowcasting ), is playing a dramatic role in many important aspects of everyday’s life such as for public safety, business-oriented services, and personal services, just to mention a few. For instance, the availability of reliable real-time forecast for hazardous and extreme weather conditions, such as intense rain showers and thunderstorms, may effectively reduce the threat to life and property, thanks to timely emergency rescue operations. This branch of meteorology has been made possible by a combination of factors, including the availability of low-cost and low-consumption sensors. Quantitative precipitation estimation can in fact be obtained by several observing systems using different measurement principles that have different time/space resolutions, and accuracies.
