Several sources of error have been identified in measuring rainfall by radar. In this paper we discuss these sources of error as they affect the calibration of a radar system using raingauge data. Present calibration techniques are considered, and the need for procedures based upon a knowledge of the structure of precipitation systems is noted. Finally, a new procedure is described, and its performance assessed for a number of cases of frontal and convective rainfall.
