Course description
Motivation talks with emphasis on the radar data processing in order to highlight the necessity of an accurate correction of intrinsic measurement errors (beam blocking, ground clutters, attenuation…). Also, the methods for the interpolation of rainfall at the ground from the radar data volume will be described. In general, limitations of radar QPE will be exposed, as well as the advantages in the hydrological application, particularly in Flash Floods at medium-small basins. Some examples and case studies to illustrate the application to hydrological forecast will be presented, as well as the description of the current software and tools for the flood risk management. Demos and didactic interactive software (student-oriented) will be used in the practical session.
