| description abstract | The relationship between radar reflectivity and kinetic energy flux (Z-?) is investigated by means of analyses of hailstone size distributions measured with hail spectrometers. Semi-empirical relations assuming monodisperse or exponential and untruncated hailstone size distributions are compared with real relations obtained from 175 measured spectra. It is found that 1) the semi-empirical relations agree very well with real ones, the deviation in ? in the case of exponential spectra being less than 15% for Z values between 50 and 70 dBZ, 2) the Z-? relations from different storms show a surprisingly similar behavior, and 3) the total kinetic energy in one point calculated from radar reflectivity factors agrees with the real energy value to better than 25%. | |
