The methods are generalizations of classical optical flow techniques including a production term modelling formation growth or depletion of clouds in the model to be fit to the data. Multiple images are processed and different smoothness constraints are introduced. When applied to simulated maps including additive noise up to 10 dB of SNR showing formation and propagation of objects with different directions and velocities the algorithms identified correctly the production and the flow and were stable to noise when the number of images was sufficiently high about 10 . The average error was about pixels px per sampling interval AT in identifying the modulus of the flow velocities between and 2 px AT were simulated and about 1 in detecting its direction varying between 0 and 90 . An example of application to X-band radar rainfall rate images detected during a stratiform rainfall is shown. Different directions of the flow were detected when investigating short 10 min or long time ranges 8 h in line with the chaotic behaviour of the weather condition. The algorithms can be applied to investigate the local stability of meteorological conditions with potential future applications in nowcasting. Keywords X-band radar optical flow nowcasting 1.
