Urban hydrology has evolved to improve the way urban runoff is managed for flood
protection, public health and environmental protection. There have been significant recent …

Radar‐rain gauge merging techniques have been widely used to improve the applicability of
radar and rain gauge rainfall estimates by combining their advantages, while partially …

Pysteps is an open-source and community-driven Python library for probabilistic
precipitation nowcasting, that is, very-short-range forecasting (0–6 h). The aim of pysteps is …

Ensemble forecasting applied to the field of hydrology is currently an established area of
research embracing a broad spectrum of operational situations. This work catalogs the …

Flash floods and debris flows develop at space and time scales that conventional
observation systems for rainfall, streamflow and sediment discharge are not able to monitor …

Application of weather radar data in urban hydrological applications has evolved
significantly during the past decade as an alternative to traditional rainfall observations with …

The management of flash flood hazards and risks is a critical component of public safety and
quality of life. Flash-floods develop at space and time scales that conventional observation …

Preparedness towards natural hazards is a key factor in the reduction of their impact on the
society. Recent international initiatives are fostering the development of a culture of risk …

Hydrology requires accurate and reliable rainfall input. Because of the strong spatial and
temporal variability of precipitation, estimation of spatially distributed rain rates is …

It is well acknowledged that there are large uncertainties associated with radar-based
estimates of rainfall. Numerous sources of these errors are due to parameter estimation, the …
