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
