Abstract

Accurate measurements of precipitation are essential for many applications, ranging from flash-flood warnings to water resource management. However, the accuracy of the existing tools is limited by various technical and practical reasons. Percipitation monitoring has traditionally been known to rely on gauges, weather radars, and satellites. Recently, a new approach has begun to be examined, the usage of commercial wireless communication networks (CWCNs), which enjoys the lack of any need for deployment procedures or costs, and which is already widely spread across countries.
