Precipitation Type Specific Radar Reflectivity-rain Rate Relationships for Warsaw, Poland

Raindrop size distributions and radar reflectivity–rain rate relationships for radar hydrology*

The conversion of the radar reflectivity factor Z (mm6 m-3) to rain rate R (mm h-1) is a crucial step in the hydrological application of weather radar measurements. It has been common practice for over 50 years now to take for this conversion a simple power law relationship between Z and R. It is the purpose of this paper to explain that the fundamental reason for the existence of such power la...

Tropical Rain Classification and Estimation of Rain from Z-r (reflectivity-rain Rate) Relationships

A Z-R relation is derived using a data set which consists of nine rain events selected from Singapore’s drop size distribution. Rain events are separated into convective and stratiform types of rain using two methods: the Gamache-Houze method, a simple threshold technique, and the Atlas-Ulbrich method. In the Atlas-Ulbrich method, the variability of the rain integral parameters R, Z, Nw, D0 and...
