Abstract: The present study aims at a preliminary approach of multiradar compositing applied to the estimation of the vertical structure of precipitation?an important issue for radar rainfall measurement and prediction. During the ...

Abstract: A geostatistical approach to areal rainfall estimation using raingage and radar measurements is described. The so-called cokriging method is used to obtain a linear estimator of ground-level rainfall depths by combining ...

Abstract: The Marseilles Hydrometeorological Experiment has been designed to improve rainfall measurement techniques over the space scales and timescales useful for urban hydrology applications. Among other sensors, an X-band light ...

Abstract: Total attenuation cross sections of raindrops derived from the Mie theory for wavelengths of 3.2, 5.6, and 10 cm and temperatures of ?10°, 0°, 10°, and 20°C have been calculated and compared to the results of the Rayleigh ...

Abstract: Attenuation in rainfall is recognized as one of the most significant limitations in rain-rate estimation from weather radar returns at X- or C-band wavelengths. This paper introduces a radar measurement correction as an ...

Abstract: he radar network deployed in southern France during the first special observing period (SOP 1) of the Hydrological Cycle in the Mediterranean Experiment (HyMeX) was designed to precisely document the 3D structure of moist ...

Abstract: his paper describes and illustrates a methodology to conduct postflood investigations based on interdisciplinary collaboration between social and physical scientists. The method, designed to explore the link between crisis ...

Abstract: erranean countries are experiencing important challenges related to the water cycle, including water shortages and floods, extreme winds, and ice/snow storms, that impact critically the socioeconomic vitality in the area ...
