Abstract
Radar is useful for monitoring flash flood in urban areas because it provides rainfall data with high spatial and temporal resolution for a wide area. In 2014, the Korea Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology introduced the first X-band dual-polarization radar in Korea and has subsequently been researching on flash floods in the metropolitan area using the rainfall data. Considering the various advantages of X-band dual-polarization radar, the Water Hazard Information Platform in Korea introduced two X-band dual-polarization radars (KRU and YSU radars) into the metropolitan area, in 2017. This study described the characteristics of KRU and YSU radars, their observation strategies, and quality control techniques. Moreover, we also assessed the hydrological applications of the X-band dual-polarization radars in the metropolitan area by analyzing three years of rainfall data from 2017 to 2019.
