Accuracy of Radar Rainfall Estimates Compared to Raingauge Measurements and aHydrological Application

摘要

Since it is possible to estimate rainfall intensities using a weather radar, itis interesting to know the accuracy of such rainfall estimates as compared to raingauges. Moreover, there are various procedures to adjust radar rainfall estimates using raingauge measurements in order to reduce their bias error. The report deals with the accuracy of unadjusted and adjusted radar rainfall estimates. In addition, the accuracy of radar rainfall estimates for hydrological purposes has been investigated.
