N1  - Includes bibliographical references; 1. Introduction to basic radar principles -- 2. Radar quantitative precipitation estimation -- 3. Polarimetric radar quantitative precipitation estimation -- 4. Multi-Radar Multi-Sensor (MRMS) algorithm -- 5. Advanced radar technologies for quantitative precipitation estimation -- 6. Radar technologies for observing the water cycle -- 7. Radar QPE for hydrologic modeling -- 8. Flash flooding forecasting
N2  - Radar Hydrology: Principles, Models, and Applications provides graduate students, operational forecasters, and researchers with a theoretical framework and practical knowledge of radar precipitation estimation. The only text on the market solely devoted to radar hydrology, this comprehensive reference: begins with a brief introduction to radar; focuses on the processing of radar data to arrive at accurate estimates of rainfall; addresses advanced radar sensing principles and applications; covers radar technologies for observing each component of the hydrologic cycle; examines state-of-the-art hydrologic models and their inputs, parameters, state variables, calibration procedures, and outputs; discusses contemporary approaches in data assimilation; concludes with methods, case studies, and prediction system design; includes downloadable MATLAB content
