RadxPid fuzzylogic

Overview

The goal of RadxQpe is to provide the best two-dimensional estimate of precipitation rates at ground level. To do so, RadxQpe must account for elevated terrain, areas of weak signal, and the height of the radar beam. This page will walk through how the application handles these factors to produce the end result.
