Abstract
The theory of the radar reflectivity factor and how to determine the radar parameters must be clearly known for an accurate measurement of rainfall with the help of a weather radar. Procedures for achieving these ends are presented first. Kinematics and microphysical influences on Z-R relationships and the effect on the rainfall estimates are pointed out. Consideration of radar areal estimates of rainfall utilizing gauges for calibration indicates a significant reduction in percent error when adjustments are made on a storm basis and thus suggesting an improved technique. Factors affecting such measurements are finally outlined.
