Radar multi-sensor (RAMS) quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE)
Quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE) continues to be one of the principal objectives for weather researchers and forecasters. The ability of radar to measure over broad spatial areas in short temporal successions encourages its application in the pursuit of accurate rainfall estimation, …

Flexible spatial interpolation and uncertainty quantification : with applications in radar rainfall estimation.
In quantitative precipitation estimation, prediction and uncertainty quantification are difficult due to the errors in the available data sources. Weather radars are used to predict precipitation with high spatial and temporal resolution, but do not measure ground level rainfall intensity, which is …

Precipitation Estimation Methods in Continuous, Distributed Urban Hydrologic Modeling
Quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE) remains a key area of uncertainty in hydrological modeling, particularly in small, urban watersheds which respond rapidly to precipitation and can experience significant spatial variability in rainfall fields. Few studies have compared QPE methods in …

Tests of quantitative precipitation estimates using national weather service dual-polarization radar in Missouri
… in order to issue watches and warnings. The underestimation of rainfall accumulation by radar algorithms often leads to undiagnosed flash flooding, so it is necessary to determine which type of quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE) equation best assesses the actual amount of rain that has …

Development and evaluation of a watershed-scale hybrid hydrologic model
… (Thiessen polygon and NEXRAD radar-based) precipitation data demonstrate relatively good fit against observed streamflow as well as improved fit in comparison with the outputs of spatially averaged rainfall data simulations as follows: (1) application with 24 single storm events using …

Rain and RELAMPAGO: analysis of the deep convective storms of central Argentina
When, where and how much precipitation falls are fundamental questions to research interests spanning the weather to climate spectrum, yet are difficult to solve. The various methods used to answer "how much" each have sources of error, making it important to obtain knowledge about the …
