Abstract: Polarimetric radars provide measurements that describe the shape and dimensions of hydrometeors and are unaffected by calibration, attenuation, and the presence of ice. These measurements can potentially lead to a more ...

Abstract: oupling meteorological and hydrological models is a common and standard practice in the field of flood forecasting. In this study, a numerical weather prediction (NWP) chain based on the BOLogna Limited Area Model (BOLAM) ...

Abstract: he forecast of rainfall-driven floods is one of the main themes of analysis in hydrometeorology and a critical issue for civil protection systems. This work describes a complete hydrometeorological forecast system for ...

Abstract: AbstractThe typical complex orography of the Mediterranean coastal areas support the formation of the so-called back-building mesoscale convective systems (MCS) producing torrential rainfall often resulting in flash floods. ...
