The invention relates to a raininess 
estimation method based on dual polarization Doppler 
weather radar detection. The method comprises the steps that when 
echo intensity ZH of rainfall is small, the rainfall is estimated through the 
echo intensity ZH; when the 
echo intensity ZH of the rainfall is increased, if a value of ratio 
differential phase shift KDP and a value of a 
differential reflectivity factor ZDR are small, the rainfall is estimated through the echo intensity ZH and the 
differential reflectivity factor ZDR, if the value of the ratio 
differential phase shift KDP is small and the value of the 
differential reflectivity factor ZDR is large, the rainfall is estimated through the ratio 
differential phase shift KDP and the differential 
reflectivity factor ZDR, and if the value of the ratio differential phase shift KDP and the value of the differential 
reflectivity factor ZDR are large, the rainfall is estimated through the ratio differential phase shift KDP. According to the 
meteorology feature of 
precipitation particles, the raindrop spectrum feature of the 
precipitation particles of different sizes and the influence of rain belt attenuation are considered, a combined rainfall 
algorithm is adopted, the 
estimation result is accurate, precision is improved, and 
flash flood monitoring capacity is improved.
