description abstractEmpirical relationships for estimating rainfall rate, liquid water content and median volume diameter from radar measurements of reflectivity factor and differential reflectivity are derived from a disdrometer record of a highly variable, heavy rainfall event in central Illinois. Comparisons with relationships representing exponential and gamma model drop-size distributions are made. Simulations, employing these and Z-R relationships for rainfall estimation, are performed. Statistical measures are tabulated for comparing results. These show an excellent agreement between the disdrometer- and radar-derived rainfall parameters when the latter are obtained from the empirical relationships.
