INVESTIGATION OP THE QUANTITATIVE DETERMINATION OP POINT AND AREAL PRECIPITATION BY RADAR ECHO MEASUREMENTS Eighth Quarterly Technical Report 1 July 1963 - 30 September 1963

摘要

The drop camera installation at Flagstaff, Arizona, produced 26 rolls of raindrop data. This data is in general of rather poor quality. The network cameras operating in Illinois produced ex¬cellent data for at least seven shower and thundershower situations and three continuous rain cases. These data have been selected for comprehensive analysis. There are other data from the Illinois network which can be utilized if deemed desirable later.nThe rainfall rate-radar reflectivity relationships are sum¬marized. The data from Miami, Florida, has been stratified by synoptic type, rainfall type and by a measure of the instability.nA brief description of an objective means of coalescence curve fitting is described.
