The first International Conference on Opportunistic Sensing of Precipitation, organized as the final conference of the European COST Action CA20136 OpenSense, will be held at the German Weather Service, Offenbach, Germany, from 25 to 26 June. As part of the COST-Program, the conference will be free of charge (no conference or abstract submission fees).
What is OpenSense?
OpenSense aims to improve access to continental OS observations, establish OS as a widely acknowledged method capable of providing reliable operational precipitation observations, and facilitate their use in precipitation nowcasting and operational hydrological forecasts. Check out this video!
Topics will consist of
- OS data acquisition, management & standardization
- Processing methods
- Comparative performance analysis and uncertainty assessment
- OS data merging
- Application of OS rainfall data
- Bridging the gap
