  • Debris-flow early warning system at regional scale using weather radar and susceptibility mapping 

    Palau Berastegui, Rosa Maria; Hurlimann Ziegler, Marcel; Berenguer Ferrer, Marc; Sempere Torres, Daniel (Association of Environmental & Engineering Geologists (AEG), 2019)
    Conference lecture
    Open Access
    Risk mitigation for debris flows at regional scale is a challenge. Early warning systems are helpful in depicting the time and the location of future debris flows so that emergency responders can act in advance before the ...

  • Validation of a new multiclass mesoscopic simulator based on individual vehicles for dynamic network loading 

    Linares Herreros, María Paz; Carmona Bautista, Carlos; Barceló Bugeda, Jaime; Montañola Sales, Cristina (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2014)
    Conference report
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    The dynamic network loading problem is crucial for performing dynamic traffic assignment. It must reproduce the network flow propagation, while taking into account the time and a variable traffic demand on each path of the ...

  • Sistema de alerta para procesos torrenciales a escala regional combinando mapas de susceptibilidad y datos del radar meteorológico 

    Hurlimann Ziegler, Marcel; Berenguer Ferrer, Marc; Palau, Rosa M.; Sempere Torres, Daniel (International Centre for Numerical Methods in Engineering (CIMNE), 2017)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    Los procesos torrenciales como las corrientes de derrubios o flujos hiperconcentrados causan frecuentemente daños importantes e incluso muertos en zonas montañosas. Para afrontar este peligro, los sistemas de alerta son ...

  • A water availability prediction system for water management 

    Llort Pavon, Xavier; Rodríguez, Álvaro; Sancho, David; Sánchez-Diezma Guijarro, Rafael; Cangròs Alonso, Arnau; Muñoz Morillo, Esteban; Berenguer Ferrer, Marc; Sempere Torres, Daniel (2015)
    Conference report
    Restricted access - publisher's policy
    In 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 ...

  • Skill in nowcasting high-impact heavy precipitation events 

    Bech, Joan; Berenguer Ferrer, Marc (2014)
    Conference lecture
    Open Access
    The objective of this study is to assess the skill of a precipitation nowcasting (very short range forecasting) system, with particular emphasis on hig-impact Heavy Precipitation Events (HPE). A threshold amount of 20 mm ...

  • The use of NWP forecasts to improve an ensemble nowcasting technique 

    Buil Martínez, Alejandro; Berenguer Ferrer, Marc; Sempere Torres, Daniel (2014)
    Conference lecture
    Open Access
    Quantitative Precipitation Nowcasting (QPN) is one of the main applications of radar observations. On one hand, one of the most used nowcasting algorithms is Lagrangian extrapolation. It shows skill in specifying the timing ...

  • WiBasin: basin management through an integrated platform 

    Llort Pavon, Xavier; Sánchez-Diezma Guijarro, Rafael; Sancho, David; Rodríguez, Álvaro; Berenguer Ferrer, Marc; Sempere Torres, Daniel (2014)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    In this work we present WiBasin, a cloud platform for basin and dam management. It includes different sources of precipitation (both observed and forecasted), integration over the catchment domain (to provide an aggregated ...

  • FloodAlert: a simplified radar-based EWS for urban flood warning 

    Llort Pavon, Xavier; Sánchez-Diezma Guijarro, Rafael; Rodríguez, Álvaro; Sancho, David; Berenguer Ferrer, Marc; Sempere Torres, Daniel (2014)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    In this work we present FloodAlert, a simplified flood Early Warning System [EWS] based on the use of radar observations and radar nowcasting to issue local flood warnings. It is a web-based platform and it is complemented ...

  • Gestió de riscos torrencials: el projecte IMPRINTS 

    Berenguer Ferrer, Marc; Sempere Torres, Daniel (2013)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    En aquest article s’hi presenten els elements necessaris per la generació d’alertes d’inundacions torrencials en temps real, prenent com a exemple l’eina desenvolupada en el Projecte del 7è Programa Marc “IMproving ...

  • Integració de dades de radar i pluviòmetre per a la predicció meteorològica d'avingudes 

    Rigo, Tomeu; Serra, Aleix; Berenguer Ferrer, Marc (2013)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    Tot i que avui en dia les prediccions numèriques són molt acurades, encara no ho són tant com per poder donar un camp de precipitació ajustat a la realitat, a escales temporals horàries i espacials de pocs quilòmetres. ...

  • Radar-based rainfall nowcasting at European scale: long-term evaluation and performance assessment 

    Berenguer Ferrer, Marc; Sempere Torres, Daniel (2013)
    Conference report
    Open Access
    This work studies the performance of CRAHI's algorithm for rainfall nowcasting at European scale using the mosaics produced within the EUMETNET project OPERA (with a resolution of 4 km and 15 minutes) in the framework of ...

  • Reconstruction of radar reflectivity in clutter areas 

    Park, Shinju; Berenguer Ferrer, Marc (2013)
    Conference lecture
    Open Access
    The production of Radar Quantitative Precipitation Estimates (QPE) requires processing the observations to ensure their quality and its conversion into the variable of interest (e.g., precipitation rates). Some of the steps ...
