Development of a rainfall warning system.

The outline:

  1. Use wradlib to read and clean radar data.
  2. Use OpenCV to calculate optical flow
  3. Extrapolate from velocity data and use Thesis about nowcasting to predict precipitation. Also, check out How DarkSky works to get inspired.
  4. Collect it all on a Raspberry Pi and set up a webserver such that alerts can be accessed from a smartphone.
