University of Texas San Antonio: " Better understanding of NEXRAD Level II reflectivity using a network of four double-gauge platforms in a single radar cell."

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to improve understanding of NEXRAD Level II reflectivity for estimating precipitation quantity and spatial distribution by using high accuracy rain gauge measurements within a single radar cell. The study builds on previous work that consisted of two phases: a testing phase for hardware calibration and development of the data processing approach, a phase in which a network of four double-gauge platforms is installed and tested. The current project will focus on data collection, processing, and analysis.
