Objective Development of methodologies for meteorological datainterpretation. Multisensor data sources will be tested andused. Synoptic weather maps, polar and geosynchronous satellitemeteorological radar, and telemetering raingauges network are thesources of data that, at different scales, will be used toestimate rainfall intensity, storm areal coverage, and its groundeffects that is to facilitate extreme rainfall and floodforecasts in order to provide early warnings of flood hazard tocommunities that could be affected by such occurrences.Installation and performance analysis of a system for acquisition, processing andinformation retrieval of Meteosat images (such a system includes a receivingantenna).Development and performance analysis of radar data correction and calibrationtechniques for radar data correction in Mediterranean areas.Development of techniques for calibration of polar satellite images for rainfallmeasurements in Mediterranean areas.Installation and performance analysis of an analogical Meteosat image system andraingauge network.Development of techniques for processing of Meteosat satellite images, to obtain rainrate estimates.Filtering, classification and interpretation of radar images to obtain rain rateestimates.Development of techniques for processing of polar satellite images, to obtain rain rateestimates.Development of algorithms for traking and prediction of the evolution of cloudyentities with special reference to Meteosat images.Development of techniques to improve the correctness of radar observations in orderto obtain reliable rain rates estimates.Development of integration techniques for rain rate assessment, on the basis of digitalMeteosat images and raingauges measurements.Development of integration techniques for rain rate assessment, on the basis of digitalMeteosat images and polar satellite images.Development of integration techniques for rain rate assessment, on the basis of radardata and raingauges measurements.Development of integration techniques for rain rate assessment, on the basis of thewhole set of available sensor.Development of methodologies for rain rate assessment, on the basis of synopticweather maps and the whole set of available sensor.Preliminary design of the information structure of the system.
