Assessment of radar reflectivity-rainfall rate, Z-R relationships for a convective event in Malaysia by Sobli, Nuurul Hudaa, Ismail, Ahmad Fadzil, Mohd. Isa, Farah Nadia, Mansor, Hasmah

“…However, the inaccuracy of Z-R relationships also might be due to the differences between the precipitation at the ground level and the precipitation aloft because radar does not scan all the way down except at close range. Several Z-R relationships had also been proposed in the attempt to achieve better accuracy for rainfall estimates by radar system in the tropical region. …”
