Question

Weather radar provides information on the intensity as well as
the total amount of precipitation. Table A shows the relationship
between radar reflectivity values and rainfall rates. If radar
measured a reflectivity value of 47 dBZ for 2½ hours at a
particular location, how much rain has fallen there?
