Popis: International audience; Measurement of rainfall in urban area is an important issue in several domains such as urban hydrology, flash-flood early warning systems. The two main ways of measuring the rainfall rates are rain gauges networks and weather radars. The radars are limited by the reliefs, quite expensive and thus not available everywhere in the world. The traditional rain gauge networks are scarce or poorly maintained. This calls for alternative source of rainfall information. Various studies have recently shown that commercial microwave links from operational cellular communication networks may be used for rainfall monitoring. Despite their potential in rainfall observation the low availability of data or the inadequate frequencies used in some areas (
