Measurement of Precipitation in the Alps Using Dual-Polarization C-Band Ground-Based Radars, the GPM Spaceborne Ku-Band Radar, and Rain Gauges

Alexis Berne, Peter James Speirs, Marco Gabella, Urs Martin Germann

The complex problem of quantitative precipitation estimation in the Alpine region is tackled from four different points of view: (1) the modern MeteoSwiss network of automatic telemetered rain gauges (GAUGE); (2) the recently upgraded MeteoSwiss dual-polar ...

A radar-based regional extreme rainfall analysis to derive the thresholds for a novel automatic alert system in Switzerland

Alexis Berne, Luca Panziera, Marco Gabella, Urs Martin Germann

This paper presents a regional extreme rainfall analysis based on 10 years of radar data for the 159 regions adopted for official natural hazard warnings in Switzerland. Moreover, a nowcasting tool aimed at issuing heavy precipitation regional alerts is in ...

Hydrometeor classification through statistical clustering of polarimetric radar measurements: a semi-supervised approach

Alexis Berne, Jacopo Grazioli, Nikola Besic, Marco Gabella, Urs Martin Germann

Polarimetric radar-based hydrometeor classification is the procedure of identifying different types of hydrometeors by exploiting polarimetric radar observations. The main drawback of the existing supervised classification methods, mostly based on fuzzy lo ...

Propagation of uncertainty from observing systems and NWP into hydrological models: COST-731 Working Group 2

Urs Martin Germann, Eric Martin

The COST-731 action is focused on uncertainty propagation in hydrometeorological forecasting chains. Goals and activities of the action Working Group 2 are presented. Five foci for discussion and research have been identified: (1) understand uncertainties, ...
