3D downscaling model for radar-based precipitation fields
(2006-10)
Article
Open Access -
A fuzzy logic technique for identifying nonprecipitating echoes in radar scans
(American Meteorological Society, 2006-09)
Article
Open AccessBecause echoes caused by nonmeteorological targets significantly affect radar scans, contaminated bins must be identified and eliminated before precipitation can be quantitatively estimated from radar measurements. Under ... -
A methodology for attenuation correction based on the minimization of a cost function
(American Meteorological Society, 2003)
Conference report
Open Access -
A radar-based flash flood forecasting for the Llobregat river basin in the Catalonia region (Spain)
(American Meteorological Society, 2011)
Conference lecture
Open AccessIn this research paper, a flash flood modeling system implemented in a Mediterranean river basin is presented. Radar precipitation estimation along with hydrological modeling techniques are implemented within the system ... -
A scenario-incorporating analysis of the propagation of uncertainty to flash flood simulations
(Elsevier, 2012-08)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis study proposes a methodology to analyze the propagation of uncertainty arising from radar rainfall and model parameter estimation to the flow simulations obtained from flash flood modeling. For this purpose an ensemble ... -

A study of the error covariance matrix of radar rainfall estimates in stratiform rain
(2008-12)
Article
Open AccessThe contribution of various physical sources of uncertainty affecting radar rainfall estimates at the ground is quantified toward deriving and understanding the error covariance matrix of these estimates. The focus here ... -
A variational approach to retrieve 3D radar reflectivity composites
(American Meteorological Society, 2011)
Conference lecture
Open AccessThis study proposes an alternative methodology to obtain high-resolution radar reflectivity composites based on a variational approach considering different error sources in an explicit manner. The methodology retrieves ... -
A water availability prediction system for water management
(2015)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn this work we present a Water Availability Prediction System [WAPS] developed and implemented within two EU-FP7 projects: UrbanWater and WatERP. The aim of the WAPS is to provide information for management purposes, and ... -
Adaptive reconstruction of radar reflectivity in clutter-contaminated areas by accounting for the space-time variability
(Elsevier, 2014-11-12)
Article
Open AccessIdentification and elimination of clutter is necessary for ensuring data quality in radar Quantitative Precipitation Estimates (QPE). For uncorrected scanning reflectivity after signal processing, the removed areas have ... -
Adding value to the measurements of an X-band radar on Catalonian coast
(2012-08)
Article
Open AccessRainscanner@Barcelona is an experiment assessing the hydrological value of a small X-band radar in urban areas. -
An improved analysis of mesoscale convective systems in the western Mediterranean using weather radar
(2019-10)
Article
Open AccessThis article studies the life cycle of the well-organised mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) that affect Catalonia and surrounding regions, using a weather radar composite with sophisticated corrections and lightning data ... -
An inverse method to retrieve 3D radar reflectivity composites
(Elsevier, 2014-11)
Article
Open AccessDense radar networks offer the possibility of getting better Quantitative Precipitation Estimates (QPE) than those obtained with individual radars, as they allow increasing the coverage and improving quality of rainfall ... -

Application of a fuzzy verification framework for the evaluation of a regional-scale landslide early warning system during the January 2020 Gloria storm in Catalonia (NE Spain)
(2022-07)
Article
Open AccessThe Gloria storm rainfalls affected Catalonia from 20 to 23 January 2020 and triggered multiple landslides, some of which affected buildings and infrastructures (such as roads and railways). This paper presents the rainfall ... -
Bias-corrected nonparametric correlograms for geostatistical radar-raingauge combination
(2010)
Conference lecture
Open AccessGeostatistical methods have been widely used for quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE) based on the combination of radar and raingauge observations. They are flexible and accurate and allow for radar-raingauge ... -
