Review of the different sources of uncertainty in single polarization radar-based estimates of rainfall

G Villarini, WF Krajewski - Surveys in geophysics, 2010 - Springer
It is well acknowledged that there are large uncertainties associated with radar-based
estimates of rainfall. Numerous sources of these errors are due to parameter estimation, the …
