• What is VOLTAIRE?
• VOLTAIRE (EVK2-CT-2002-00155) is a shared-cost
  project funded by the Research DG of the European
  Commission within the RTD activities of the
  Environment and Sustainable Development
  sub-programme, Key Action 2 Global Change,
  Climate and Biodiversity. The acronym stands for
  Validation of multisensors precipitation field
  and numerical modeling in Mediterranean test
  sites.
• VOLTAIRE expected impacts lies in the framework
  of the European component of the global
  observing systems. It aims at a better
  exploitation of existing data (and adaptation of
  existing observing system) and the development
  of new long-term observing capacity.
• VOLTAIRE attempts to integrate, in a unified
  measuring methodology, all rain-data as derived
  from traditional observational systems (like
  rain gauge networks), mature technology
  instruments (like adjusted radar-derived
  estimates), advanced spaceborne instruments (like
  the TRMM satellite precipitation radar), and to
  compare them with numerically modeled fields.
  This project will permit
• Validation of TRMM in a European land for the
  first time.
• Improved accuracy of surface-radar-derived
  precipitation fields based on the experience
  gained from the TRMM Validation Programme.
• Preparation of a validation super-site for GPM
  mission in the Western Mediterranean with an
  innovative hydrological validation concept.
