Abstract: This paper presents a method to correct for the range-dependent bias in radar reflectivity that is a result of partial beam filling and of the increase in observation volume with range. The scaling behavior of reflectivity ...

Abstract: A procedure for estimating radar rainfall in real time consists of three main steps: 1) the measurement of reflectivity and removal of known sources of errors, 2) the conversion of the reflectivity to a rainfall rate (Z?R ...

Abstract: The weather radar is an efficient alternative for measuring spatially varying rainfall covering a large area at a high temporal resolution. This paper studies the impact of rainfall gauge temporal resolution on optimal ...
