A method for improving radar-derived quantitative precipitation estimation is proposed. Tropical vertical profiles of reflectivity (VPRs) are first determined from multiple VPRs. Upon identifying a tropical VPR. the event can be further classified as either tropical-stratiform or tropical-convective rainfall by a fuzzy logic (FL) algorithm. https://www.roneverhart.com/Blauer-Hi-Vis-B-Dry-Response-Parka/
