Intensity of Rainfall given Radar Echo Factor Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Intensity of Rainfall = (Radar-Echo Factor/200)^(1/1.6)
i = (Z/200)^(1/1.6)
This formula uses 2 Variables

Variables Used

Intensity of Rainfall - (Measured in Millimeter per Hour) - Intensity of Rainfall is the ratio of the total amount of rain (rainfall depth) falling during a given period to the duration of the period.
Radar-Echo Factor - Radar-Echo Factor when raindrops intercept a radar beam. It is generally related to intensity of rainfall.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Radar-Echo Factor: 424.25 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

i = (Z/200)^(1/1.6) --> (424.25/200)^(1/1.6)

Evaluating ... ...

i = 1.59999973077314

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

4.44444369659207E-07 Meter per Second -->1.59999973077314 Millimeter per Hour (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

1.59999973077314 ≈ 1.6 Millimeter per Hour <-- Intensity of Rainfall

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
