Improvements in weather radar rain rate estimates using a method for identifying the vertical profile of reflectivity from volume radar scans

A method for identifying the Vertical Profile of Reflectivity (VPR) when volume weather radar scans are available is presented. The first step in the identification of the VPR consists in averaging the vertical profiles of reflectivity observed near the radar. Then the Near Mean Apparent Vertical Pr...
