Abstract
Areal rainfall distribution over a 50-square-mile area was observed by 3-cm radar and by a rain-gage network of 33 rain gages. Isohyetal maps were prepared from both rain-gage and radar observations in order to compare the rainfall distribution as observed by the two rainfall observation techniques. The computed rainfall values were at least as accurate as those obtained by a rain-gage network of one gage per 200 square miles and in some cases they were considerably more accurate.Keywords
