Abstract

Areal rainfall information is one of the most important inputs to hydrological models. This paper presents some theoretical considerations and initial results on the idea of using a geosensor network of cars as a data source for areal rainfall estimations. The types of car sensors and different calibration schemes for the rainfall estimation functions (W-R functions) in the cars are presented. A special focus is given to the decentralized online calibration of these functions in the network by communicating measurements between measuring units. This would allow the dynamic adaptation of the functions to different situations such as different drivers, the current car environment or the current wind speed and direction. Then, results from laboratory and field experiments are presented.
