  • Rain Rates Provided by Radar in New Evaluation Product

    a) Validation of rainfall totals against the Oklahoma Mesonet and b) a single time step showing the ability of the algorithm to capture rain rates from the convective line and trailing stratiform. Precipitation rates from cloud systems can give a fundamental insight into in-cloud processes. While rain gauges and disdrometers can give information at a…
