Abstract

AVS in collaboration with Linkoping University are developing a Visual User Interface and Web-enabled advanced 3D visualization to a flood forecasting system in an EC funded project named MUSIC. The project develops state-ofthe- art precipitation estimation algorithms, assess their uncertainty and use an innovative combination of the output data of the three independent data sources radar, satellite and rain gauges. The basic role of any real-time quantitative precipitation and flood forecasting system lies in its capability, within the forecasting horizon, of assessing and reducing the uncertainty in forecasts of future events in order to allow improved warnings and operational decisions for the reduction of flood risk. In line with thls requirement, the MUSIC project is to develop an innovative technique for improving the weather radar, weather s
