@rcjackson New coefficient for BNF are as follows.

@RBhupi looks good. could you please also update the myst.yml file as well. Place this notebook with your other LDQUANTS investigation in the Site Exploration section

Are these coefficients (Z, k, A)=aR^b? They are very different what I would expect if R were the dependent variable.

Thanks @rcjackson
I didn't know the CMAC uses R-Z relationship

  1. I used the form Z=aR^b, now updating to R=aZ^b.
  2. Also, limiting range for KDP to avoid low rain values.
Relation a b N
R-Z 0.031705 0.647483 96,119
R-k 19.833667 0.678858 44,684
R-A 333.234228 0.605235 96,020

Thanks @jrobrien91 I have added it to Scanning Radar section, as it is about radar rainfall relationships.

@RBhupi it's not a SACR product, it's based off the CSAPR-2. So the Scanning ARM Cloud Radar Investigations is not appropriate
