Statement

The rainfall composite combines 2D products from the Wideumont, Jabbeke and Zaventem weather radars. Reflectivity values are converted into rainrates using the Marshall-Palmer relation. For each pixel, the maximum value of the three products is taken. The effective coverage of the composite is smaller than the bounding box. It is determined by the maximum ranges of the three radars, i.e. 250 km for Wideumont, 300 km for Jabbeke, and 250 km for Zaventem.
