Abstract: The vertical variability of reflectivity is an important source of error that affects estimations of rainfall quantity by radar. This error can be reduced if the vertical profile of reflectivity (VPR) is known. Different ...

Abstract: A method of detecting anomalous propagation echo in volume scan radar reflectivity data is evaluated. The method is based on a neural network approach and is suitable for operational implementation. It performs a classification ...

Abstract: The vertical variability of reflectivity in the radar beam is an important source of error that interferes with a reliable estimation of the rainfall rate by radar. This source of error can be corrected if the vertical ...

Abstract: The vertical variability of radar reflectivity reduces the reliability of precipitation estimation by radar, especially in complex orography. This important source of error can, at least partially, be corrected for, if the ...

Abstract: Attenuation in rainfall is recognized as one of the most significant limitations in rain-rate estimation from weather radar returns at X- or C-band wavelengths. This paper introduces a radar measurement correction as an ...

Abstract: A simulation procedure has been developed for use in predetermining the expected quality of rain-rate estimates that a given weather radar system operating in a mountainous region may obtain over a given hydrologic catchment. ...
