| description abstract | Brightband effects are one of the more important causes of vertical variability of reflectivity and severely affect the accuracy of rainfall estimates from ground-based radar. Monte Carlo simulation experiments are performed to investigate the efficiency of a procedure for the correction of errors related to the vertical variability of reflectivity. The simulation model generates three-dimensional radar reflectivity fields. Brightband effects are simulated through a physically based model of melting-layer reflectivity observations. Sensitivity of the correction procedure for a number of different precipitation scenarios and radar systems is analyzed. Overall, the identification method is found to be a robust procedure for correction of brightband effects. Results indicate a dependence of the effectiveness of the correction procedure on mean altitude and spatial variability of the melting layer. | |
