<![CDATA[Rainfall is one of the weather parameters that affect various sectors. High rainfall intensity can trigger hydrometeorological disasters, so rainfall observation data is vital to monitor rainfall conditions in an area. An automatic rain gauge is an instrument that measures rainfall at an observation point, but the instrument has reasonably low coverage and has yet to reach the entire region. Weather radar is a remote sensing instrument capable of spatially estimating rainfall. Weather radar data can be used to estimate rainfall using the Marshall-Palmer Z-R method. The application of the method can be an alternative for areas that do not have rainfall observation equipment. However, the estimation needs to be evaluated to improve the accuracy of the estimation value. Based on the evaluation, the highest coefficient of determination was 0.92, and the lowest was 0.67. The lowest RMSE value was 2.40, the highest was 6.76, the highest ME value was 16.59, and the lowest was 5.93; the highest bias was 12.90, and the lowest was 5.30. The study results show that the weather radar can operate according to the specifications of the maximum observation distance of up to 220 KM, but the farther the observation distance to a point, the higher the performance of rainfall estimation accuracy.]]>
