There is little prospect for significant enhancements to the observational side of the mountain rainfall problem. High-resolution mesoscale numerical modeling and paleohydrologic studies provide one avenue for examining heavy rainfall processes in mountainous regions 19

The Committee recommends that the NWS work to establish the accuracy of WSR-88D rainfall estimates, especially for heavy rainfall events, and develop formal plans for integrating WSR-88D data into a PMP storm catalog. Adding polarization diversity measurement capabilities to the WSR-88D would provide significant potential for improving rainfall rate estimates, especially for heavy rainfall events.

The Committee recommends that strategies be investigated for estimating probabilities of extreme rainfalls, using the best available concepts and methods of meteorology and statistics. We further recommend that attention focus on storm-based analyses of extreme rainfall.
