AMuPreMo: Advanced Multisensor Precipitation Monitoring

2007, 3rd Cycle, Courses and Projects, Politecnico di Milano, Research Topics

The AMuPreMo project deals with multisensor assimilation and fusion of the data observed using different sensors and carriers, including satellite-borne sensors, radar and ground-truth raingage networks with different spatial and temporal scales, resolutions and accuracy levels. The identified problems include: 1. errors of radar measurements in presence of orographic controls; 2. variability of the relationship […]

DREAM 3: DRone tEchnology for wAter resources and hydrologic hazards Monitoring 3

13th Cycle, 2017, Politecnico di Milano

Nowadays, expected effects of climate change at local, regional and global scales endanger hydrologic budgets of Alpine regions. An example is the massive shrinkage of mountain glaciers, with the consequent problem of water resources reduction for civil population and ecosystems. Therefore, it is very important to monitor glaciers’ evolution, in order to allow an estimation
