P1:Quantitative Precipitation Estimantion(QPE)
Core objectives: Improvement of PE for liquid, solid, and
mixed-phase precipitation, by
- Full expolitation of radar polarimetry
- Improved processing of CML data
- Merging of CML and radar data and exploiting CML for constraining
polarimetric
QPE algorithms

Current Status
P2:Quantitative Precipitation Nowcasting(QPN)
Core objectives: Significantly enhance lead time and skill of
advection-based nowcasting via two pathways:
- Extrapolate trends of the cells velocity, shape, intensity and size in time
- Exploit the information of especially polarimetry-based process descriptors
on
future developments

P3:Quantitative Precipitation Forecasting(QPF)
Core objectives: Enhanced QPF by assimilating precipitation
relevant radar and satellite information:
- Polarimetric moments and radar-derived mixing ratios
- Gridded information from 3D composite
- Nowcastet fields

P4:Flash Flood Prediction(FFP)
Core objectives: Advance river discharge forecast, particularly
flash-flood lead times:
- Evaluate QPE/QPN/QPF data improved by P1,P2 and P3
- Apply a physically based hydrological model
- Improve real-time data assimilitation of discharge and soil moisture

C1:Infrastructure project
Core objectives:
- Build and maintain a data collection and exploitation platform that mirrors
the
current status of best practice to organize, exhange, and implement data and
algorithms between projects
- Fundamental research in convection initiation
