<br />ABSTRACT <br /> <br />A strong thunderstom1 produced a flash flood on the evening of 12 July 1996 in Buffalo <br /> <br />Creek, Colorado that caused two deaths and significant property damage, Most of the rain fell in <br /> <br />a one-hour time period from 8-9 p.m. MDT. The performance of the WSR-88D rainfall <br /> <br />algoritlun was examined in d,:tail to determine how well it performed. In particular the <br /> <br />sensitivity to the algorithm's rain rate threshold parameter and the performance of the gauge- <br /> <br />radar adjustment subalgorithm on the resulting radar rainfall estimates were examined by <br /> <br />compaJ1son with available rain gauge data. <br /> <br />2 <br />
