  "term": "radar reflectivity",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The sum of all backscattering cross-sections (e.g., precipitation particles) in a pulse resolution volume divided by that volume. The radar reflectivity can be related to the radar reflectivity factor through the dielectric constant term |K|^2, and the radar wavelength.",
