International workshop on fine-scale rainfall nowcasting
31 MARCH 2014
Location: Ramada Hotel / Conference room Tiffany's
Desguinlei 94, 2018 Antwerp (Belgium)
The workshop is aimed at radar/meteo experts and the scientific RainGain partners, and will cover the following topics related to fine-scale and short-term rainfall forecasting, applicable to urban flood forecasting:
- Combination of (X- and C-band) radar data with Numerical Weather Prediction (provided by the national meteo offices MetOffice, RMI, Meteo France, KNMI, …)
- Advective-statistical forecast modelling
- Spatial and temporal downscaling
- Error/uncertainty estimation in function of forecast lead time / probabilistic forecasts
