Our confidence in using the NMQ (or NEXRAD) data partially comes from its superior performance with liquid precipitation measurement, which has been validated by many studies using either surface observations or cross-validation with other remote sensing sensors [7,17,18].

The team used WSR-88D (NEXRAD) radar to investigate spring and fall migrations at 40 military installations across the United States, and to identify stopover hotspots based on radar images of birds departing from installation habitats ("exodus events").
