  3. Highlights Why fuse PMW and IR? Direct response vs indirect relationship “Bad” spatial and temporal resolutions vs geostationary capabilities Re-inforce the strengths and avoid the weaknesses Inputs processing IR data from the Global IR database (Janowiak et al 2001) and EUMETSAT archive PMW Rainfall retrieval based upon Kidd&Barrett SSM/I algorithm: V19-V85 or H19-H85 combination over ocean and over land Polarization Corrected Temperatures (PCT) over coast Gauge processing: point to area estimates using maximum entropy interpolation Histogram matching and GPI calculation for inter-comparison Neural nets Inputs selection Model selection Inversion procedures University of Birmingham, UK Nal.

  5. Neural Networks NN works fairy well in rainfall estimation Operative system: PERSIANN (Sooroshian et al 2000) Bellerby et al. 2000, etc. Neural Nets are not black-boxes It is possible to make an objective NN selection (Murata et al 1994) There are inversion procedures to investigate inside They allow both deterministic and probabilistic approach Some advantages over other methods Any function (Dirichlet’s, not pathological function) can be approximate with an arbitrary degree of accuracy with a NN: Universal Aproximator. An easy method to simulate complex physical models in a quick (operative) way. University of Birmingham, UK Nal.

  37. Conclusions Accumulated areal estimates at 0.1º and 0.5º at monthly scale are similar to other works, but the down-top approach allow to know about small scale and short term estimates. There is an almost-operative product to analyse and to improve with further research. There are many reseach directions in NN data fusion to follow: Inversion New methods (probabilistic nets) Integration of other models Other physical models can be integrated into the NN methodology. Any meteorological information can be integrated without major modifications Complex models can be speed up simulating the result using NN University of Birmingham, UK Nal.
