Operational C-Band Dual-Polarization Radar QPE for the Subtropical Complex Terrain of Taiwan

Complex terrain poses significant challenges to the radar based quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE) because of blockages to the lower tilts of radar observations. The blockages often force the use of higher tilts data to estimate precipitation at the ground and result in errors due to vertic...
