What is it about?
All current remapping methods are approximate and result in errors that can be significant. This a very accurate method based on beam geometry and will completely eliminate remapping errors.

Why is it important?
Probably, the main reasons why approximate methods are used is the belief that accurate remapping is too complex and is not worth the effort since there are many other sources of errors in radar measurement. Radar measurement are continuously improving , which increases the relative contribution of remapping errors. The method will allow researchers to focus on other sources of errors after eliminating this one.
Perspectives
This method can used in used in hydrologic applications of radar data and verification of numerical weather predictions.
