| Abstract | Summary form only given. The Distributed Collaborative Adaptive Sensing (DCAS) paradigm introduced by the National Science Foundation Engineering Research Center (NSF-ERC) for Collaborative Adaptive Sensing of the Atmosphere (CASA) has shown great advantages to observe and track low-level atmospheric conditions during the 5 years operation (2007-2011) in Southwestern Oklahoma. To demonstrate the DCAS concept and mitigate the increasing vulnerability to urban flash floods, CASA, in collaborative with the North Central Texas Council of Governments (NCTCOG), has been establishing its first urban radar network in Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) metropolitan area. The eight-node X-band dual-polarization radar network is expected to provide improved hazardous weather forecasts, warnings and response in this densely populated metroplex. Radar-based Quantitative Precipitation Estimation (QPE) is one of the major research activities in the development of this urban remote sensing network. In this study, we implement a $K_{dp}-based$ rainfall algorithm for the CASA DFW X-band radars to estimate the rainfall intensity and accumulations. The spatiotemporal resolution of CASA QPE is about 500 meters and 1 minute. In addition, the local S-band NEXRAD site (i.e., KFWS radar), which has been upgraded to have dual-polarization capability since November 2012, is also used to generate the networked dual-polarization rainfall products. For this S-band radar, we use a combination of reflectivity $(Z_{h}),$ differential reflectivity $(Z_{dr}),$ and $K_{dp}$ to retrieve the rainfall field. Composite rainfall products are then created using resampling techniques based on the CASA radar and NEXRAD rainfall measurements. To validate and evaluate the dual-polarization radar rainfall products, 19 rain gauges operated by the City of Fort Worth and 21 by the City of Grand Prairie are used for cross comparison between the radar rainfall measurements and gauge rainfall observations. The evaluation results show excellent performance of the CASA DFW rainfall products with low bias and normalized standard error. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
