Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Severe weather (large hail, strong convective straight winds, tornadoes, heavy rainfall, all associated to intense thunderstorms) produces substantial losses in agriculture, industry, and many others human activities. Besides, casualties are also possible in some cases, depending on the intensity of the phenomena and on the vulnerability of the affected area. Severe weather phenomena occur in many areas of the world, producing substantial economic losses, as reported by the WMO. For this reason, research on this topic requires important efforts to develop efficient weather surveillance systems. One of them is remote sensing—weather radar in particular—for detecting, diagnosing, and forecasting severe weather producing thunderstorms. Furthermore, because of the spatial and time resolutions, some radar products can help the generation of affectation maps to be used in civil protection plans or to infer the climatology of a particular area. This book is a compilation of some of the last advances in this field.
