Abstract

Relationships between radar reflectivity factor and rainfall rate for attenuating wavelengths are derived which are more general than traditional power law relations. They are useful for producing more accurate measurements of rainfall rate R and for estimation of the errors in R due to errors in the measurement of reflectivity factor. A method is also presented which provides for accurate computation of the rainfall rate in the case where the drop size distribution can be approximated by a gamma distribution.
