(author)Commercial microwave links (CMLs) from cellular telecommunication networks can provide a valuable 'opportunistic' source of high-resolution space-time rainfall information, complementing traditional in-situ measurement devices (rain gauges, disdrometers) and remote sensors (weather radars, satellites). Their greatest potential lies in areas...journal article 2021

Bogerd, Linda (author), Overeem, Aart (author), Leijnse, Hidde (author), Uijlenhoet, R. (author)Applications like drought monitoring and forecasting can profit from the global and near-real-time availability of satellite-based precipitation estimates once their related uncertainties and challenges are identified and treated. To this end, this study evaluates the IMERG V06B Late Run precipitation product from the Global Precipitation...journal article 2021

Overeem, A. (author), de Vries, Hylke (author), Sakka, Hassan Al (author), Uijlenhoet, R. (author), Leijnse, Hidde (author)The Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI) operates two operational dual-polarization C-band weather radars providing 2D radar rainfall products. Attenuation can result in severe underestimation of rainfall amounts, particularly in convective situations that are known to have high impact on society. To improve the radar-based...journal article 2021
