VDI 3786 Blatt 20:2014-09 (R2018)

The standard specifies the monitoring of the atmosphere with ground based precipitation radar systems with wavelengths between 3 cm and 10 cm. The mainly used area of application is the quantitative determination of precipitation. An area-wide coverage of precipitation zones produces a variety of important applications. Many professional operators use radar data and set a high value on the detailed quantitative coverage. Because of this, the standard does not only specify the measurement technique but also the process steps of data preparation for the different applications.
