<br />Tables <br /> <br />Table 1. Storm-total sample biases as a function of the rain rate threshold, converted to <br /> <br />reflectivity (first column), and various radar estimates from the nine polar bins surrounding each <br /> <br />gauge location (top row). All available gauges that reported rain were included. In column <br /> <br />three, "closest to gauge rain" means closest in quantitative rainfall amount, not spatially closest <br /> <br />as is represented in column four. Sample biases less (greater) than 1.0 imply radar <br /> <br />overestimation (underestimation) relative to the gauges. <br /> <br /> radar radar (3x3 radar (3x3 radar (3 x3 radar (3 x3 radar (3x3 <br /> (chosen by closest to center) average) minimum) maximum) <br /> algoritlun) gauge rain) <br />49 dBZ 0.938 0.951 0.700 0.729 1.349 0.482 <br />51 dBZ 0.903 0.906 0.614 0.637 1.225 0.409 <br />53 dBZ 0.890 0.894 0.544 0.564 1.147 OJ 50 <br />55 dBZ 0.874 0.860 0.491 0.508 1. 096 0306 <br /> <br />34 <br />
