7. DATASET OVERVIEW
7.1 Abstract
This is a gridded data set of precipitation over West Sumatra in Indonesia which is based on
an integration technique of weather radar and ground-based raingauge data. We first derived anempirical relationship between radar and raingauge measurements. By using the relationship, weconverted radar measurements into precipitation at each grid point. As pre-processing radar data,
the effect of mountain shadow was taken account of. For evaluation of the effect, we developed atool for analysing visibility of targets from radar using gridded terrain data. The effect of rain
attenuation due to short wavelength of the radar was not considered.
