This paper introduces an uncertainty model for the quantitatively estimate precipitation using weather radars. The model considers various key aspects associated to radar calibration, attenuation, and the tradeoff between ...

High-resolution quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE) from radar and satellite combined with rain gauges is one of the most important guides for hydrological forecasts. Whereas rain gauges provide accurate measurement ...

Precipitation is a meteorological variable with high spatial and temporal variability, requiring a dense and homogeneous ground monitoring network. In Brazil, this is challenging, due to resources scarcity for equipment ...

Cost-efficient single-polarized X-band radars are a feasible alternative due to their highsensitivity and resolution, which makes them well suited for complex precipitation patterns. Thefirst horizontal scanning weather ...

Precipitation measurements are essential for extreme weather events prediction and a broad range of applications such as agriculture, climate change and energy generation. In the Ecuadorian Andes, precipitation is highly ...

Precipitation monitoring is of utmost importance for water resource management. However, in regions of complex terrain such as Ecuador, the high spatio-temporal precipitation variability and the scarcity of rain gauges, ...

Precipitation and dissolution are prime processes in carbonate rocks and being able to monitor them is of major importance for aquifer and reservoir exploitation or environmental studies. Electrical conductivity is a ...

The Pacific–Andean region in western South America suffers from rainfall data scarcity, as is the case for many regions in the South. An important research question is whether the latest satellite-based and numerical ...
