The two types of precipitation are identified according to hourly rainfall, respectively less than 10 mm and greater than 30 mm. The analysis is conducted on a representative dataset containing 92 severe and weak precipitation events collected over the Italian peninsula in the period 2016\u20132019 over June-September. The events are selected to be short-lived (i.e., less than 12 h) and localized (i.e., less than 50\u00d750km2). Italian National Radar Network products, namely the Vertical Maximum Intensity (VMI) and the Surface Rain Total (SRT) variables (from Dewetra Platform by CIMA, Italian Civil Protection Department), are used as indicators of convection (i.e., VMI greater than 35 dBZ echo intensity) and cumulated rainfall, respectively. The considered predictors are linear combinations of spectral infrared channels measured with the Rapid Scan Service (RSS) Spinning Enhanced Visible and InfraRed Imager (SEVIRI) aboard Meteosat Second Generation (MSG) geostationary satellites. We select a 5\u00d75 SEVIRI pixel-box centered on the storm core and perform a statistical analysis of the predictors up to 2.5 h around the event occurrence. We demonstrate that some of the proxies\u2014describing growth and glaciation storm properties\u2014show few degrees contrast between severe and nonsevere precipitation cases, hence carrying significant information to help discriminate the two types. We design a threshold scheme based on the three most informative predictors to distinguish weak and strong precipitation events. This analysis yields accuracy higher than 0.6 and the probability of false detection lower than 0.26; in terms of reducing false alarms, this method shows slight better performances compared to related works, at the expense of a lower probability of detection. The overall results, however, show limited capability for these infrared proxies as stand-alone predictors to distinguish severe from nonsevere precipitation events. Nonetheless, these may serve as additional tools to reduce the false alarm ratio in nowcasting algorithms for convective orographic storms. This study also provides further insight into the correlation between early infrared fields signatures prior to convection and subsequent evolution of the storms, extending previous works in this field.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs12162562","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,10]],"date-time":"2020-08-10T05:07:23Z","timestamp":1597036043000},"page":"2562","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Convective Initiation Proxies for Nowcasting Precipitation Severity Using the MSG-SEVIRI Rapid Scan"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6814-193X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Donatello","family":"Gallucci","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Methodologies for Environmental Analysis, National Research Council (IMAA\/CNR), 85100 Potenza, Italy"}]},{"given":"Maria Pia","family":"De Natale","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Methodologies for Environmental Analysis, National Research Council (IMAA\/CNR), 85100 Potenza, Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5962-223X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Domenico","family":"Cimini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Methodologies for Environmental Analysis, National Research Council (IMAA\/CNR), 85100 Potenza, Italy"},{"name":"Center of Excellence Telesensing of Environment and Model Prediction of Severe events (CETEMPS), University of L\u2019Aquila, 67100 L\u2019Aquila, Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9892-0582","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Francesco","family":"Di Paola","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Methodologies for Environmental Analysis, National Research Council (IMAA\/CNR), 85100 Potenza, Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3892-970X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sabrina","family":"Gentile","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Methodologies for Environmental Analysis, National Research Council (IMAA\/CNR), 85100 Potenza, Italy"},{"name":"Center of Excellence Telesensing of Environment and Model Prediction of Severe events (CETEMPS), University of L\u2019Aquila, 67100 L\u2019Aquila, Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3949-512X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Edoardo","family":"Geraldi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Methodologies for Environmental Analysis, National Research Council (IMAA\/CNR), 85100 Potenza, Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2588-6082","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Salvatore","family":"Larosa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Methodologies for Environmental Analysis, National Research Council (IMAA\/CNR), 85100 Potenza, Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2630-8727","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Saverio Teodosio","family":"Nilo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Methodologies for Environmental Analysis, National Research Council (IMAA\/CNR), 85100 Potenza, Italy"}]},{"given":"Elisabetta","family":"Ricciardelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Methodologies for Environmental Analysis, National Research Council (IMAA\/CNR), 85100 Potenza, Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2462-3619","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mariassunta","family":"Viggiano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Methodologies for Environmental Analysis, National Research Council (IMAA\/CNR), 85100 Potenza, Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0544-073X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Filomena","family":"Romano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Methodologies for Environmental Analysis, National Research Council (IMAA\/CNR), 85100 Potenza, Italy"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Wang, Y., Coning, E., Harou, A., Jacobs, W., Joe, P., Nikitina, L., Roberts, R., Wang, J., Wilson, J., and Atencia, A.
