Telecommunication microwave links as a source of rainfall information for urban rainfall-runoff modelling

Original language description

In this paper we investigate potential of commercial microwave links (MWL) to capture the spatio-temporal rainfall dynamics and thus improve rainfall-runoff modelling in urban areas. Specifically, we perform numerical experiments with virtual rainfall fields and compare the results of MWL rainfall reconstructions to those of rain gauge (RG) observations. For a case study of a small sewer system, we are able to show that MWL networks in urban areas are sufficiently dense to provide good information on spatio-temporal rainfall variability and can thus considerably improve pipe flow prediction. This is especially beneficial for high-intensity rainfalls, which usually have a high spatial variability that cannot be accurately captured by RG point measurements.
