Select one:

a. 1.3 inches

b. 2.6 inches

c. 4 inches

d. 5 inches

e. Doppler radar cannot measure the total amount of rainfall. It can only measure the intensity of the rain at any given moment.

Answer 1

Option E

Step-by-step explanation:

Doppler radar measures velocity precipitation particles in a precipitating region and can not be used to calculate amount of rain( a rain gauge is the instrument used to measure amount of rain.)
