Evaluation of the Polarimetric-Radar Quantitative Precipitation Estimates of an Extremely Heavy Rainfall Event and Nine Common Rainfall Events in Guangzhou

The development and application of operational polarimetric radar (PR) in China is still in its infancy. In this study, an operational PR quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE) algorithm is suggested based on data for PR hydrometeor classification and local drop size distribution (DSD). Even th...
