Technical Name Rain Alert APP
Project Operator National Science and Technology Center for Disaster Reduction
Project Host 于宜強
Summary
The purpose of this software is to implement real-time radar monitoring technique in meteorological service through industry-academia cooperation. The design transforms professional weather webpage into APP software, which is available for mobile devices, it also provides notification service by using GPS positioning system. This is an experimental product which integrates radar observational data in Taiwan with the latest observation data from FORMOSAT-7. By using data assimilation method and radar reflectivity extrapolation method, it develops real-time early warning technique and provides probability of precipitation information in future 1 hour.
Scientific Breakthrough
1.It integrates radar observation data in Taiwan with the latest observation data from FORMOSAT-7. By using data assimilation method and radar reflectivity extrapolation method, it develops real-time early warning technique through radar reflectivity.
2.Through 10-minute update frequency, it provides probability of precipitation information in future 1 hour.
Industrial Applicability
Rain alert APP let users get the latest precipitation information before going out or get off work. The service is available for various industries. 
The related disaster prevention data and open data aid enterprises and citizens in technology cooperation in order to create more industrial opportunities.
