Abstract
A method allowing data delivered by a rain gauge to be validated in real time is provided. The method includes steps of: receiving, in a defined time window, pluviometric data from a gauge and weather data from at least one weather radar; computing a coefficient of gauge/radar similarity between the pluviometric data received from the gauge and the weather data received from the at least one weather radar; comparing the value of the coefficient of obtained gauge/radar similarity to a threshold gauge/radar value; and validating the pluviometric data of the gauge if the value of the coefficient of gauge/radar similarity is higher than or equal to the threshold gauge/radar value.
