Quality Control for Crowdsourced Personal Weather Stations to Enable Operational Rainfall Monitoring

Abstract Automatic personal weather stations owned and maintained by weather enthusiasts provide spatially dense in situ measurements that are often collected and visualized in real time on online weather platforms. While the spatial and temporal resolution of this data source is high, its rainfall...
