Reflectivity measurements are one example of a measurement that can be taken from GPM, DPR, and NEXRAD radars. This study demonstrates the potential use of the NASA’s Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Dual-frequency Precipitation Radar (DPR) to examine ground radar (GR) miscalibration and other uncertainty sources (e.g., partial beam blockage).
