Impact of the Altitudinal Gradients of Precipitation on the Radar QPE Bias in the French Alps

In the French Alps the quality of the radar Quantitative Precipitation Estimation (QPE) is limited by the topography and the vertical structure of precipitation. A previous study realized in all the French Alps, has shown a general bias between values of the national radar QPE composite and the rain...
