Radar-Rainfall Estimates in Florida During the 1999 Hurricane Season
Publication: Building Partnerships
Abstract
An active 1999 hurricane season brought several significant hurricanes, tropical storms, and other heavy rainfall events to the Florida Peninsula. During this period, high-resolution gage-adjusted radar-rainfall estimates were developed for the entire state. Radar-rainfall estimates from a mosaic of overlapping radar coverages in Florida were combined with local rain gages from northeastern Florida to create a composite data set of gage-adjusted radar-rainfall estimates on a 2 km x 2 km grid every 15 minutes. This paper presents comparisons between gage measurements and the resulting radar estimates. The results will focus on a 12,400 square mile area in northeastern Florida containing 97 rain gages.
