The first relates to the benefits of collaboration between decision makers, end users and experts reporting the case of the November 2014 Liguria and Po River flooding, when early activation, prior to the occurrence of the flood, was...

A reliable estimation of soil moisture conditions is fundamental for discharges prediction and, consequently, for flood risk mitigation. Microwave remote sensing can be exploited to estimate soil moisture at large scale. These estimates can be used to enhance the predictions of hydrological models using Data Assimilation techniques and to...
