Relations between radar reflectivity, liquid‐water content, and rainfall rate during the MAP SOP (2003, background): “R relationships over dual-polarization methods (Bringi and Chandrasekar 2001) is that they can be applied to radar echo regions where the re ectivities are weak and the dual-polarization signal is noisy.”
