摘要: Errors and uncertainty in radar estimates of precipitation result from both errors the basic measurement reflectivity attempts to relate this falling at ground. If data are be used their full potential it is essential that effective measures taken mitigate these problems. The automatic processing which forms part UK Met. Office’s Nimrod system addresses a number specific sources error.
