Liu, Rain-Rate Estimation in the Presence of Hail Using S-Band Specific Differential Phase and Other Radar Parameters, Journal of Applied Meteorology (Boston, Mass.: 1988) 34, no. 2 (February 1995): 404-410.http://hdl.handle.net/10217/68047Multiparameter radar measurements were made during a heavy rainfall event accompanied by hail in Colorado. Rainfall rates Rand accumulation Σ for this event were estimated using S-band specific differential phase KDP, reflectivity factor Zh, and X-band specific attenuation AH3. These estimates were compared with measurements from a ground-based rain gauge. Both R-KDP and R-AH3 relations were in good agreement with the rain gauge data, that is, less than 10% difference in the rainfall accumulations. The R-Z relation produced similar results only when ZH was truncated at 55 dBZ. This study demonstrates the potential of KDP for estimating rainfall rates in severe storms that may have rain-hail mixtures.born digitalarticleseng©1995 American Meteorological Society.Copyright and other restrictions may apply.
