Radar Quantitative Precipitation Estimation improvement in Champagne vineyard.

Work-related respiratory symptoms in Champagne vineyard workers.

BACKGROUND Vineyard workers (VW) are exposed to various respiratory allergens. The aims of the study were to determine the prevalence of work related respiratory symptoms (WRS) in Champagne VW in France and to analyze the relationships between symptoms, occupational exposure and sensitization profile. METHODS VW of Reims area were prospectively recruited between 2007 and 2010. Demographic and...

Radar-based quantitative precipitation estimation over arid, semi- arid and Mediterranean climate regimes in Israel

1 Introduction Accurate quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE) is one of the most important elements in meteorological and hydrologic analyses. It has been long recognized, however, that rain gauge networks are usually inadequate because of their limited distribution. During the last decades intense scientific efforts have been devoted to utilize remote sensing information for the estimati...

Towards the use of Integral Radar Volume Descriptors for quantitative areal precipitation estimation - results from pseudo-radar observations

The central objective of our analysis is to significantly enhance the quality of radar derived precipitation estimates by as fully as possible exploiting the information contained in the spatial and temporal variability of 3D radar volume data. The results presented are yet based on pseudo-radar data and rain rates of a regional weather forecasting model and 12 true radiosoundings as well. We p...
