Figure 5: Accumulation in the Waipapa catchment for the same case study. Black line:X-band radar estimate, Blue line: Doppler wind model, Red: Control run. (shaded areamodel spread and solid lines the ensemble mean).5. Concluding RemarksIn this work a system for comparison of model predictions to high resolution X- bandradar measurements of areal accumulation is proposed and demonstrated by way of anexample. Statistical analysis of a larger dataset of cases is presented in the associatedtalk.6. AcknowledgmentsC-band radar data was provided by the New Zealand Meterological Service Ltd.7.
