Radar-Rainfall Studies in Ohio *

Abstract

A University of Florida Research Team conducted weather radar studies during the summer of 1948 at Wilmington, Ohio. Some results of these studies are presented here. Data were obtained to show the feasibility of using radar for quantitatively measuring the rate of rainfall. Comparisons are made between isohyets obtained by calculations from radar data and those obtained from rain gages. Comparisons are also made between results obtained from 10-cm and 3.2-cm radars.
