| Zusammenfassung |
| In a related presentation in this Session (Casella et al.), we describe the main design features
of the Cloud Dynamics and Radiation Database (CDRD) approach to precipitation
retrieval from passive-microwave (MW) satellite measurements, and then illustrate the
microphysical-radiative characteristics of a new CDRD database for the European
area.
In this presentation, we will discuss how lightning measurements from ground-based
networks and cloud microphysics/electrification information from the one-dimensional
Explicit Microphysics Thunderstorm Model (EMTM) can be used within the CDRD
approach to constrain the Bayesian precipitation retrieval. Then, we will present the results of
the application of this retrieval approach to a series of heavy-precipitation case studies over
the Italian peninsula, that have been considered within the European FLASH project. |
