Variation of weather radar sensitivity at ground level and from space: case studies and possible causes
Firstly, this paper summarizes the procedure for correcting the variation of sensitivity of radars at ground level, using a radar in space for reference, as already described in the literature. Around 10dB have to be added to the measured radar reflectivity Z (in mm6/m3), when increasing the range f...
