Stage I Precipitation Processing
Stage I Precipitation Processing : The first level of precipitation processing, occurring within the WSR-88D computer and performed for each volume scan of the radar. Base reflectivity data are converted to a precipitation estimate for each grid in the radar umbrella using a complex algorithm that includes quality control procedures, a Z/R relationship, and a bias adjustment using data from a ground-based precipitation gage network. Several graphical and digital products are produced for Weather Forecast Office (WFO) operations and subsequent processing
