Waterjade: many services, one platform

Waterjade combines data from different sources:

1. Thanks to open data, we collect in-situ meteorological data belonging to public administrations, like precipitation, air temperature, radiation, wind speed etc. and also snow measurements in mountainous regions.
2. Then we retrieve satellite data from Copernicus, namely optical and SAR images, to obtain information at spatial scale.
3. Finally, we have developed our own instance of WRF model to forecast weather evolution at high resolution. 

In this way we want to capture a complete picture of the current hydrological condition in the basin and give in input to our models the best initial and boundary conditions.

The results are a full service of water analysis in the basin, both in real-time for snow monitoring, and in forecast in the short (+ 5 days) and long-term (+ 6 months).
