Abstrakt: This article discusses the calibration of radar estimates of rainfall using gauge data. The method uses rainfall amount, rainfall type, and seasons together with analysis techniques combining geostatistical procedures, threshold estimation, bias reduction, and regression techniques. Texas rainfall data in 2003 illustrates the method which includes Weather Surveillance Radar Doppler radar-reflectivity data and rain gauge measurements. The accuracy of the method is evaluated with simulation experiments.
