Not Just Scientists: How And Why Ordinary People Are Saving The Italian Hydrological Data
A recent article published by the SIREN team sheds light on what drives people to donate their time to this transcription project. Their main findings: 1) Many volunteers use skills they already have, like fast typing, to help the project. 2) Some volunteers see SIREN as a relaxing activity, something pleasant they do in their spare time. 3) Some are interested in water, science, or Italy, so they feel connected to the project’s purpose. 4) A good number of volunteers are retired and still very active in helping.

🚨 New paper out! 🚨
We studied who contributes to data rescue citizen science projects and why. From retired data pros to environmentally engaged volunteers, discover what drives participation in #citizenscience projects in the field of #hydrology. doi.org/10.1371/jour...

🌧️ How well do CPMs simulate rainfall extremes?
We compared the VHR-PRO_IT convection-permitting model with records of Italian rain gauges. Results show better performance for long durations: short events are often underestimated, especially in coastal and lowland areas.

Large dams need a large dataset!
We've just released an open-access dataset covering 528 large dams across Italy, with 100+ descriptors of their upstream catchments (from extreme rainfall to land cover, climate, and more).

Are extreme rainfall events intensifying in Italy? 🌧
In doi.org/10.1016/j.ej... we show that:
- short-duration ordinary extremes increase all over Italy;
- longer duration ordinary extremes exhibit negative trends in some areas;
- the most intense extremes vary more than the ordinary ones.

Hydrology Paper of the Day @paolamazzoglio.bsky.social and colleagues on a global assessment related to how often rainfall data has been collected: a history of time series sampling and automation; a regional overview of rain gauge networks; automation in the 20th century; and updated databases.
How has rainfall data resolution evolved over time? 🌧️
In our latest study, "A reassessment of the history of the temporal resolution of rainfall data at the global scale", we explored this question using a database of 126,438 stations across 77 nations.
