Improving Live Storm Rainfall and Flood Alert Incident Information for Urban Areas

这项名为“改善市区暴雨雨量及洪水预警事件即时资讯”的计划，旨在建立一个经改良的系统原型，以便在本港收集及发布洪水资讯。它将为城市地区提供更精确的降雨强度数据，以支持改进未来城市水挑战的决策，包括排水、洪水和污染。该项目将整合新的当地收集的降雨数据，这些数据来自安装在杆上的雨量计网络，以及来自英国气象局、英国国家环境研究中心和英国环境署的现有环境数据集。这项科学研究将得到利兹大学国家大气科学中心对新测量网络准确性的研究的支持。整合的数据集将支持一个新的框架，通过使用个性化数据、皇冠外包、开放数据和社交媒体，使超本地社区受益。

This project, "Improving Live Storm Rainfall and Flood Alert Incident Information for Urban Areas", aims to prototype an improved system for the local collection and dissemination of flooding information. It will provide improved accuracy rainfall intensity data for urban areas to support improved decision making for future urban water challenges including drainage, flooding and pollution. The project will integrate new locally collected rain data from networks of pole-mounted raingauges with existing environmental datasets from the Met Office, NERC and the Environment Agency. The science will be supported by research into the accuracy of the new gauge networks to be undertaken at the National Centre for Atmospheric Science at Leeds University. The integrated datasets will support a new framework to benefit hyper-local communities through the use of personalised data, crown-sourcing, open data and social media.
