Report on future evolution of Eastern Sicily heavy precipitation events and their spatial distribution : ECLISE : Enabling climate information services for Europe. Work package: WP4: Cities. TASK 4.4: Flood risk assessment in cities of Eastern Sicily

This report describes the activities performed by ISAC-CNR to produce Deliverable 4.6 of the ECLISE Project –Report on future evolution of Eastern Sicily heavy precipitation events and their spatial distribution. These activities were performed within task 4.4 -Flood risk assessment in cities of Eastern Sicily that also allowed producing deliverable 4.5 –Report on past heavy recipitation events for the eastern part of Sicily . Deliverable 4.6 was produced in order to fulfil SIAS (Servizio Informativo Agrometeorologico Siciliano, Sicily Regional Administration ) needs. SIAS is one of the users of the ECLISE Project. The activities we developed in the frame of task 4.4 went far beyond the planned goal of the project, which focused only on inte nse precipitation in eastern Sicily: we extended in fact the activities to the whole Sicily region.
