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 …

Forecasting flash floods some hours in advance is still a challenge, especially in
environments made up of many small catchments. Hydrometeorological forecasting systems …

Because of the ongoing climate change, the frequency of extreme rainfall events at the
global scale is expected to increase, resulting in higher social and economic impacts. Thus …

Flood forecasting remains a significant challenge, particularly when dealing with basins
characterized by small drainage areas (ie, 10 3 km 2 or lower with response time in the …

The forecast of flash floods is sometimes impossible. In the last two decades, Numerical
Weather Prediction Systems have become increasingly reliable with significant …

The precipitation nowcasting methods have been elaborated over the centuries because
rain has a crucial impact on human life. Not only quantitative precipitation forecast (QPF) …

This study utilized a radar echo extrapolation system, a high-resolution numerical model
with radar data assimilation, and three blending schemes including a new empirical one …

Nowcasts (short-term forecasts) of heavy rainfall causing flash floods are highly valuable in
densely populated urban areas. In the Collaborative Adaptive Sensing of the Atmosphere …

A new numerical nowcasting technique to predict the radar reflectivity field at very short term,
up to few hours, is presented. The method is based on the spatial segmentation of the …

The Hydro-Meteorological Centre (CMI) of the Environmental Protection Agency of Liguria
Region, Italy, is in charge of the hydrometeorological forecast and the in-event monitoring for …
