Comments on “A Z-R Relationship for the GATE B-Scale Array”

Abstract

It is shown that the Z-R relationship determined by Cunning and Sax (1977) includes additional useful information of cloud physics. The physical processes by which the tropical rainshafts were formed was simple, probably with a single method of drop formation. Comparable Z-R relationships from the Marshall Islands are given. It is shown that the selection of R as the independent variable usually results in a laser coefficient and a smaller exponent than when Z is taken as the independent variable.
