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

Abstract

The object of the research is to study the utility of radar equipment in measuring surface precipitation, and to improve radar techniques in measuring precipitation for application by the Army to radioactive rainout prediction, trafficability, and communications. Considerable effort is being directed toward determining the correlation between radar variables and actual rainfall quantities by means of raindrop-size distribution.
