A Field Experiment on the Calibration of Radars with Raindrop DisdrometersSource: Journal of Applied Meteorology:;1977:;volume( 016 ):;issue: 004::page 451Author:Martner, Brooks E.

Abstract: Radar reflectivity factors determined from disdrometer measurements of drop spectra are compared with simultaneous WSR-57 radar measurements in two Oklahoma thunderstorms. The possibility of using a disdrometer for an in-field calibration check of a radar is examined and found to have limited usefulness for convective precipitation sampled at long ranges.
