| dc.description.abstract | A procedure for real-time adjustment of range-dependent biases in Weather Surveillance Radar-1988 Doppler version (WSR-88D) rainfall estimates due to nonuniform vertical profile of reflectivity is proposed. Using volume-scan measurements of effective reflectivity, the procedure estimates conditional mean and variance profiles of point reflectivity in the vertical and calculates, as a function of elevation angle and slant range, a multiplicative adjustment factor to be applied to the apparent radar rain rate. As a by-product, the maximum effective coverage of radar is also delineated, outside of which radar rainfall estimates are subject to beam overshooting. To evaluate the procedure, unadjusted and adjusted radar rainfall estimates from a Pacific Northwest winter storm are examined and compared with rain gauge data. | |
