INVESTIGATION OF THE QUANTITATIVE DETERMINATION OF POINT AND AREAL PRECIPITATION BY RADAR ECHO MEASUREMENTS.

Abstract

Two drop cameras were operated in Illinois and one at Flagstaff, Arizona. Data obtained from these installations are being reduced and analyzed. The rainfall rate-radar reflectivity relationships are summarized. The data from Miami, Florida, has been stratified by synoptic type, rainfall type, and by a measure of the instability. A brief description of an objective means of coalescence curve fitting is described. (Author)
