Reflectivity rain rate relationships for radar hydrology in Brazil.

Abstract

In this work a method is presented to obtain R-Ze relationships through comparison, in probability, of nonsimultaneous measurements of Ze and R. Range dependent relationships obtained in this way are given for a radar situated at 20o21'30''S, 49o01'38''W. The method is tested by comparing actual river hydrographs from a number of basins with those simulated using radar data as input to a hydrological model.- Authors
