Abstract

Radar hydrological data collected on real time basis during a full year for Oklahoma radar umbrella have been analysed and compared with the rainfall realised by raingauges. A seasonal variation in radar-estimate of rainfall is seen. While radar rainfall estimate is generally better in autumn and winter than in spring and summer. Occurrence of widespread non precipitation echo is found to pose a problem in interpretation of radar echoes for areal rainfall estimate in summer.
