Dear all,

We are pleased to invite you to the ninth OpenSense Short Online Conference (SOC) that will be held on 25 March 2025, 9:00 CET.

The OpenSense short online conference should bring the OpenSense community the idea of the newest opportunistic sensor data achievements concerning opening data, data processing algorithms, and applications.

Maximilian Graf will present on Weather radar adjustment with commercial microwave links: Experiences from the HoWa-PRO project at Deutscher Wetterdienst

Commercial microwave links (CMLs) provide valuable rainfall estimates for weather radar adjustment, offering real-time data, extensive coverage, and path-averaged measurements closer to radar’s areal data. However, challenges include real-time acquisition, consistent processing, and merging path-averaged CML data with gridded radar data. In the HoWa-PRO project, we developed pyRADMAN, a Python framework at Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD) that integrates CML, radar, and rain gauge data in real-time. This talk will present recent results, challenges, and the potential future of CMLs at DWD.

Dominique Faure will present on Current status of the CML project of Météo-France

The presentation will summarise the present status of the CML project of Météo-France, the main lessons learned for an operational use of CML, and will present the most recent results concerning the merging of CML rainfall estimates with radar estimation and rain gauges measurements in order to improve the best Quantitative Precipitation Estimation of Météo-France. Two approaches were used: a classic CML data processing, and a Machine Learning approach. Some numerical results will be presented (the work is still ongoing), as well as few elements concerning the prospects for a future operational use.
