Weather radars have become an invaluable tool for real time measurements of precipitation and winds with superb spatial and temporal resolution. To make full use of inherent radar capabilities, it is necessary to know the main sources of radar errors and various procedures to avoid, minimise, or correct them. The purpose of this document is to overview the main quality-ensuring procedures used or planned for operational generation of single-site radar products in the European weather radar network.
