摘要：
Snowfall estimates for weekly, monthly, and seasonal accumulation periods have been compared to measured Nipher-shielded Belfort precipitation gauge quantities. A local scaling issue that caused overestimates is discussed. To enhance the accumulation estimates, the conventional scan radar images were adjusted using the near surface air temperatures. The adjustment for mixed precipitation improved the accumulation estimates, while the subsequent particle shape adjustment for snow crystal shape did not further enhance the radar estimates.
