Hazard Assessment based on Rainfall European Nowcasts
ACRONYM: HAREN
PERIOD: 01/01/2012 – 30/09/2013
FINANCING ENTITY: ECHO-230301-HAREN (European Commission)
The goal of the Project is thus to develop a system for precipitation monitoring and forecasting to be used in the anticipation of hazards induced by precipitation at local scale and over Europe. The Project will capitalize on the OPERA mosaics and on the recent improvements on nowcasting techniques, some of which developed and tested within several FP6 and FP7 EC projects (among others FLOODSITE, HYDRATE, and IMPRINTS (www.imprints-fp7.eu), to generate high-resolution precipitation forecasts and hazard identification over Europe, as well as the associated uncertainty of these products.
The consortium is composed by 4 organisation:
- Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) Coordinador
- Finnish Meteorological Institute (FMI)
-
Central Institute for Meteorology and Geodynamics
- Finnish Ministry of Interior, Department for Rescue Services
and, 5 Stakeholders:
- Dirección General de Protección Civil y Emergencias de España
-
Civil protection section, Provincial Government of Lower Austria
- Directorate General Joint Research Centre – Commission of the European Communities (JRC)
- OPERA – EUMETNET
- METEOALARM – EUMETNET
