Abstract

This contribution deals with the technological aspects of a research funded in the framework of a Scientific Cooperation program between Italy and Israel. The aim of this research is to evaluate if real-time estimates of precipitation at high spatial and temporal resolution can significantly improve the efficiency of agricultural management by optimizing agronomic practices from an economical and environmental standpoint. The preliminary data analysis and radar calibration strategy necessary for a correct estimation of rain fields is here presented for all the radar installations involved in the research.
