Applications of weather radar data to complex orography are manifold, as are the problems.
The difficulties start with the choice of suitable locations for the radar sites and their …

In this study, we present a unique 15‐year hail streak climatology for Switzerland based on
volumetric radar reflectivity. Two radar‐based hail detection products and an automatic …

A Reduced-Space Ensemble Kalman Filter Approach for Flow-Dependent Integration of Radar
Extrapolation Nowcasts and NWP Precipitation Ensembles in: Monthly Weather Review …

Nowcasting of hailstorms still poses a major challenge to weather services, because of the
limited availability of reliable large datasets and the short spatio‐temporal scales involved …

The new precipitation nowcasting system “NowPrecip” is introduced and its methodology is
described in detail. NowPrecip is an area‐tracking application, able to generate ensembles …

The dependence of precipitation growth and decay on the orientation of orographic features,
mesoscale flow and freezing‐level height is quantified using a 10‐year archive of composite …

Weather radar calibration involves all aspects of relating the received power that is
backscattered by hydrometeors to the physical abundance and the location of the …

Convective storms are often associated with high rainfall rates, and if a convective storm
stays stationary or moves slowly, the area over which it occurs will experience high …

Nowcasting precipitation, that is, accurately predicting its location and intensity minutes to a
few hours ahead, is a difficult task. Extreme rainfall events can be a threat to the population …
