Abstract
In order to improve the accuracy with which radar estimates rainfall rates and amounts, a method has been developed whereby the rainfall rate-radar reflectivity relationships may be estimated for approaching precipitation. The estimating equation is based on atmospheric parameters which may be obtained in advance of precipitation, from standard radiosonde data. Comparisons are made between the present model and other methods concerning their effectiveness in determining appropriate rainfall rate-radar reflectivity relationships.Keywords
