Abstract
An apparatus and a method for estimating rainfall of hail and rain using a dual-polarization weather radar improve accuracy of classification of hail and rain zones and estimation of rainfall intensity by classifying hail and rain zones using a distribution of horizontal reflectivity and differential reflectivity of radar observation values, discriminating between a convective zone and a stratiform zone depending on reflection intensity, and applying a dual-polarization-based rainfall estimating relational equation for each type in a weighted mean technique.
