(“An advanced weather radar network for the Baltic Sea Region: BALTRAD”, Baltic Sea
Region Programme, 2009-2014), the WMO programme RQQI (“Radar Quality Control and
Quantitative Precipitation Intercomparisons”, from 2011), etc. In the frame of the projects
some recommendations are being developed, that will ensure harmonisation of practices in
particular national meteorological services.
