Ableitung einer Beziehung zwischen der Radarreflektivität, der Niederschlagsrate und weiteren aus Radardaten abgeleiteten Parametern unter Verwendung von Methoden der multivariaten Statistik

Rain rates are derived from the reflectivity by Z-R relations that are applied regardless of the precipitation situation. An improvement is achieved by the classification of rain events into clusters. Thereto several parameters are deviated from the volume data that enable a discrimination between rain events. Neural networks are used to relate ten parameters obtained from the vertical profile of reflectivity derived above the stations recording the precipitation with the rain rate.
