Abstract

AbstractThree‐year semi‐operational observations of rainfall distributions with NIED X‐band multi‐parameter (or polarimetric) radar started in the Kanto area of Japan from July 2003. The purposes and outlines of the radar observations with networks of rain gauges and disdrometers for ground validations are described. Preliminary results of validation analysis of polarimetric rain rate estimators show the usefulness of X‐band multi‐parameter radar for hydrological and meteorological applications in a small area.
