AB: Unlike many previous studies, this research uses daily raingage data to evaluate the NEXRAD product over a wide range of spatial and temporal scales. The advantages of daily gages for this purpose are twofold. First, the daily gage data used are not incorporated in the NEXRAD multisensor product, thus permitting an independent evaluation. Second, there are far more daily, non-recording gages in the Missouri River Basin. This effort compares gage and radar estimates using both point and spatially interpolated gage fields.
