Airborne laser scan data: a valuable tool with which to infer weather radar partial beam blockage in urban environments

High-spatial-resolution weather radar observations are of primary relevance for hydrological applications in urban areas. However, when weather radars are located within metropolitan areas, partial beam blockages and clutter by buildings can seriously affect the observations. Standard simulations wi...
