Referring Precipitation Measurements to Physical Properties of Raindrops - The Case of Vertically Pointing High Resolution Doppler Sensor
06 Oct 2026
Developments in Earth System Measurements and Technologies
Ensuring measurement quality through standardization, traceability, instrument maintenance and calibration
PRECICAP is a recently introduced novel non-catchment type precipitation measurement technology. Rain is reconstructed as ensembles of distinct raindrop signals of Doppler radar. This skill enables precipitation measurements to be referred to physical properties of raindrops, measured in ambient weather. PRECICAP mitigates uncertainty in precipitation measurement and enables automated metrologically consistent field verification of the sensor operation.
