Abstract
AbstractQuantitative precipitation estimates (QPE) based on weather radar observations are used more and more for water management, in numerical weather prediction models, and for monitoring of severe weather. A straightforward method for bias adjustment of radar‐based and hourly‐updated precipitation accumulations is described. In addition a long‐term verification of the bias‐adjusted composites over a six year period using dependent and independent gauge data is presented. It is found that the adjustment scheme effectively removes the mean‐field bias from the raw accumulations. The adjustment method cannot correct for a range‐dependent bias and therefore it is recommended to also use a simple vertical profile of reflectivity (VPR) adjustment procedure.
