TeachMeFinance.com - explain Base Reflectivity Base Reflectivity The term 'Base Reflectivity' as it applies to the area of the weather can be defined as ' One of the three fundamental quantities (along with base [radial] velocity and spectrum width) that a Doppler radar measures. Reflectivity is related to the power, or intensity, of the reflected radiation that is sensed by the radar antenna. Base reflectivity is expressed on a logarithmic scale in units called dBZ. The term 'base' refers to the product being 'basic', with little advanced processing performed on the data. Base reflectivity is related to rainfall intensity (e.g., drop size and rainfall rate) and hail size (for large values of reflectivity)'.
