  12. Window Probability Matching Method (WPMM) Rain-gauge Space resol. = 1 km Time resol. = 1 min. 1x1 km Radar • Radar-Raingauge data processing - Special resolution: 1 km (Reflectivity, using Radar Software Library) - Temporal resolution: 1 min.(Rain rate, using TRMM/GSP algorithm) • Z-R Relationship - Set the minimum radar reflectivity corresponding with rain gauge (10 dBZ) - Estimation of Z-R relationship from Z-R pairs in real-time

  13. Data Procedure for WPMM Raingauge Data Raw data check TRMM/GSP Rain rate(mm/h) Data Radar Data NCAR/SPRINT NCAR/CEDRIC 2-D Reflectivity data Calculated the Z-R relationship using WPMM each radar Convert Rain Intensities using the real-time Z-R relationship Composite of all of Radar Intensity (Overlapping Maximum value select)

  14. Radar Scan strategy and characteristics • Jindo, Gwangduksan, Kwanaksan, Pusan (4 S-band Radar) • Baekyeongdo, Donghae, Kunsan, Cheju, Myeonbongsan, Youngjongdo (6 C-band) • 0.0 – 7.0° (C-band: 8 elevations , interval 10 minutes) • 0.0 – 19.0 ° ( S-band: 10 elevations, interval 10 minutes) • Melting layer level is about 3.5 – 5.5 km from June to August BrightBand Ground and sea clutter

  15. Radar Data Processing Research radar 4 3 Height (km) 2 Muan 1 0 0 100 150 170 190 210 240 Range (km) • Beam blocking area • Range attenuation error • Bright-band contamination • C-band(5), S-band(4) Rdar Data NCAR/SPRIINT -Resolution : 1x 1 x 0.5 km(Cartesian) -Height 1.5 – 4.0 km (interval: 0.5 km) • NCAR/CEDRIC • Standard deviation check • Ground clutter check • Beam filling • 2-Dimensional Reflectivity Data • Effective reflectivity height eliminated • the ground and bright band

  16. Raingauge Data Processing mm B C A t • TRMM/GSP algorithm Precipitation events check(B, rainevent) : if the time interval between Tips less than 30 minutes, B is rain event TRMM/GSP Half tip (C) : if the time interval between tips is within 20-30 minutes,insert the half tip in the middle • Calculate the 1-minute rain rate(mm/h) using Cubic Spline Interpolationeach rain event • Calculate the bias of measured rainfall and interpolated rainfall • Bias = rainfall(measured) / rainfall(interpolationed) Calculated rain-rate = bias * {rain(1st sec. of min.) – rain(2nd sec. of min.} *60 Rain-rate greater than 1000 mm/hr single tip or isolated tips (A) -> Gaussian interpolation is applied( R=R0exp(-x2/100) )

  17. Raingauge Data Processing y j+1 Rain-rate (mm/hr) y Accumulated Rainfall (mm) y j -15 0 15 y j-1 Time (min.) x j-1 x j x j+1 x Time (min.) • Gaussian Interpolation(Not TRMM/GSP algorithm) - tip interval greater than 30 minutes => Singletip - single tip consider as small convective precipitation • Cubic Spline Interpolation - tip interval within 30 minutes, effective data > 3 point - the slope of accumulated precipitation convert to rain-rate

  18. TRMM/GSP & ORG • Single tip does not accord to the rain-rate of ORG (Optical Raingauge) • Rain event accords to the rain-rate of ORG • One tip of AWS raingauge is 0.5 mm (rain-rate=30 mm/h)

  19. Rain Rate Product Data reading : (1) 1-minute rain rate of each raingauge using TRMM-GSP (2) 10-minute reflectivity of each radar using RSL WPMM (Window Probability Matching Method) Computation of Z-R pair every 10 minutes during 1 hour : (1) Rain rates of raingauges (- 9 ~ 0 minutes) (2) Reflectivites of radar grids(3×3) around raingauge (horizontal res.: 1 km) (3) Threshold : 10 ~ 60 dBZ, 0.5 mm/h (4) Rain-rate calculates using M – P relationship (if Reiteration Num. = 1) Yes No Z-R pairs > Threshold Num. Z-R Fitting : - Median Fitting ( Under and Over the 30 dBZ ) Z-R Fitting : - Z-R relationship of former time Reiteration Num. > 1 No Yes Computation of rain rates applied Z-R relationship every 10 min. (No precipitation under threshold dBZ) Produce Rain Rate from each radar-raingauges rain rate

  29. Concluding Remarks • KMA’s operational Automatic Weather Station Network (13km*13km, one minute) and Weather radar(10 stations) can be used for GPM calibration and validation. • High resolution(1km x 1km) precipitation intensity were estimated from radar reflectivity with the various Z-R relationship obtained by WPMM using raingauges data of AWS operated by Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA). • Rain intensity produced by WPMM has a good agreement with ground rainfall data measured by raingauge and Optical Rain Gauge (ORG). • Rain intensities of S-band and C-band radars obtained by WPMM were more accurate than Z-R relationship (Z=200R1.6) and S-band radars were more accurate than C-band radars.
