This paper presents a severe weather event that occurred in Northwestern Italy observed from space by the ©COSMO SkyMed X-band radar developed by ASI. The study presents a methodology to detect water surfaces, as well as areas in which heavy rain is present. The methodology is based on a combined use of electromagnetic scattering models and image processing techniques and uses also ancillary data, such as optical images, land cover maps and a digital elevation model (DEM).
