Innovation in nowcastingINNOVATIONS

Real-time measures

FEATURES

Rainfall estimation, through the analysis of satellite television’s signals (received by commercial parabolic antennas)

RESULTS

Faster risk analysis and efficient anticipation of rainfall consequences

INNOVATION IN RAINFALL MONITORING

Granted in ItalyExtension pending

PATENTSTimely communications

and interventions

Exploitation of already deployed infrastructures (satellite TV broadcasting, internet & mobile)

SRS: the only instrument on the

market providing this kind of information!

Fine localization of rainfall

Two pilot experiments are ongoing in Florence and Genoa (in

collaboration with Civil Protection) and another is starting in Rome (in

collaboration with ENEA)

Safer society

Public (e.g. Civil Protection, Municipalities, transport and mobility managers etc.) Þ Early warning, more efficient interventions and communication

Private (motorways managers, productive companies, assurances etc.)Þ To preserve and protect their activities and customers

SRS may be of primary interest to operate a low-cost and fine scale rainfall monitoring on a territory, for purposes of environmental risk prevention and early warning, mainly because of the catastrophic events due to climate changes that have

plagued many countries worldwide.

Target market

Climate change:• Weather events have significantly changed their behavior, becoming more and more localized, frequent and

intense• Territories are not equipped to perform an efficient rainfall monitoring, and are considerably investing to face

this problem

Europe

USA SE Asia

Australia

Specific needs:• The instruments on the market are expensive and not able to perform a real-time monitoring with a high

spatial resolution• SRS overcomes these limitations and strongly reduces costs, exploiting IT infrastructures already deployed all

over the world

Global priority:• Flood and drought risk management is one of the 8 priority areas of the European Innovation Partnership (EIP)

on Water• Environmental monitoring and risk prevention are becoming more and more strategic assets in the global

market
