| Description: | The use of radar (NEXRAD) based rainfall data in conjunction with rain gage data for hydrologic modeling is under investigation in recent years. However, several issues related to radar rainfall data quality, understanding the rain gage–radar relationships, functional forms those capture these relationships, rain gage based radar data adjustments and uncertainty associated with both rain gage measurements and radar based rain measurements still need to be addressed. These issues are not only important from a hydrologic modeling perspective but also essential for real-time and short-term management of water resources systems. Paradigms that rely on a combination of traditional statistical and geo-statistical methods and emerging inductive modeling techniques are increasingly used to address these issues. This session will invite presentations that will focus on development of new methodologies for improvement of radar rainfall data and applications of emerging computational techniques and methods to deal with a variety of issues that relate to the use of radar rainfall data for hydrological modeling and water resources management. |
