Radar Echo Factor using Intensity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Radar-Echo Factor = 200*Intensity of Rainfall^1.6
Z = 200*i^1.6
This formula uses 2 Variables

Variables Used

Radar-Echo Factor - Radar-Echo Factor, or radar reflectivity, occurs when raindrops intercept a radar beam. It indicates rainfall intensity, with stronger echoes corresponding to larger and more numerous raindrops.
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.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Intensity of Rainfall: 1.6 Millimeter per Hour --> 1.6 Millimeter per Hour No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Z = 200*i^1.6 --> 200*1.6^1.6

Evaluating ... ...

Z = 424.250114219518

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

424.250114219518 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

424.250114219518 ≈ 424.2501 <-- Radar-Echo Factor
