Abstract

Radar volume scan studies employed two radars simultaneously to measure heights and other echo characteristics of convective cells. Maps produced from the data were used to identify and track cells, whose properties were then related to one another by regression analysis, with the following conclusions: cell rainfall and area are strongly related, and rainfall intensity, maximum precipitation area, duration and rate of precipitation, and total rain volume are strongly dependent on cell-echo height. -from Authors
