The Bauru radar detects inner cores of deep convective storm cells at long range, but relevant cell areas are left undetected. A procedure is in development to generate a more complete three‐dimensional representation of the cell structure for cost‐beneficial hydrological use at larger distances. A set of satellite microwave brightness temperature ( T b )—radar reflectivity ( Z ) relationships, basic to the retrieval procedure, has been derived. Copyright © 2005 Royal Meteorological Society
