Conclusions & Questions

    Data transfer needed for flood forecasting:
  • Real time data (hourly Precipitation and Temperature) - Telemetry System. (B.2.1.3)
  • Observed data (daily Precipitation and Temperature) - Telemetry System. (B.2.1.3)
  • NIMROD data (< hourly Precipitation data) - Polrad (B.2.9.2) in GRIB. format
  • DWD 7x7 km (30 hours forecast, hourly time step) - Meteorological. Forecast (B.2.4.2) in GRIB format
  • DWD 14x14 km (72 hours forecast, hourly time step) - Meteorological. Forecast (B.2.4.2) in GRIB format


    GRIB layers: Hourly layers in separate files for:
  • Precipitation layer
  • Temperature layer
