Abstract
The present invention essentially comprises a system, method, computer program and combinations thereof to utilize dual-polarization generated date generally associated with weather events for mapping data, producing geo-referenced data, producing mosaics, generation of conditional precipitation masks, production of vertical cross sections and predetermined fly throughs, producing short term forecasting, prediction of specific weather phenomenon, correcting or adjusting rain gauge data as well as quantitative precipitation estimation, and combining other meteorological data to correct or adjust estimated rainfall accumulation gathered by dual-polarization radar.
