Luca Brocca interview on Research Gate

Luca Brocca recently was very much interviewed for one of his achievements about the use of remote sensing in hydrology. He had this smart idea of obtaining rainfall from soil-moisture data. His SM2RAIN is a simple algorithm for estimating rainfall from soil moisture data that you can find in his web page together with  other interesting stuff:

• MISDc Rainfall-Runoff Model (and MILc)
• Soil Moisture Model
• Neyman-Scott Rectangular Pulse Model
• FARIMA
• Satellite vs in situ soil moisture observations
• Long-term (1989-2012) soil moisture data set

The paper that generate a big wave was:

Soil as a natural rain gauge: Estimating global rainfall from satellite soil moisture data,  available here. He also had the honour of a Nature Research Highlight mention. All of this deserve mention by itself. However, he was so kind to mention me in this recent Research Gate Interview. Thank you Luca !
