| Zusammenfassung |
| Within the European Union FP6 FLASH project, we have developed a series of
algorithms for the retrieval of precipitation (especially, heavy precipitation) from
satellite-borne microwave (MW) and infrared (IR) radiometers in conjunction with lightning
data from ground-based networks operating over the Mediterranean area – such as
ZEUS and LINET. These algorithms have then been applied to the various case
studies that have been selected within the FLASH project, that aims at improving the
monitoring, nowcasting and forecasting of the hazardous, flood-producing storms that
intermittently strike the Mediterranean coastal regions. In this paper, we describe our
combined MW/IR/lightning precipitation algorithms and analyses with special reference
to the case study of 14-15 September 2006 over the western Mediterranean, that
has been selected for joint research by the EU FLASH and HYDRATE projects. |
