Initial assessment of radar reflectivity-rainfall rate, Z-R relationships for moderate rain events in Malaysia

and rainfall rate (R), identified as Z-R relationships have been derived to facilitate the rainfall rate estimation by weather radar. Most of the previously proposed Z-R relationships were implied as too generalized and only applicable within the region that has identical climate characteristics...
