Abstract
The work described in this document is concerned with the development of an automatic technique, using computer image processing, to determine the approximate height and extent of the radar bright band. The technique is applicable to both the conventional radar's absolute reflectivity bright band and the dual polarisation radar's absolute and differential reflectivity bright bands, as depicted by range height indicator scans. The software package processes the data for range height indicator scans and locates the 'top' and 'bottom' edges of any bright band feature that is present. This software package has also been extended to perform automatic rainstorm type classification based on the bright band extraction procedure. The package was then employed to investigate suspected correlations between bright band parameters and to generate statistics that should be of use for bright band modelling.
