Abstract

The effectiveness of an attenuation correction procedure on the error structure of a C-band radar rainfall estimation is studied theoretically and by computer simulation. The iterative procedure to correct the radar observables affected by attenuation is based on the best-fit relationships between the absolute and differential reflectivity and the specific absolute and differential attenuation. This paper evaluates this attenuation correction procedure by a computer simulation to value the rainfall rate estimation errors.
