The Need to Represent Raindrop Size Spectra as Normalized Gamma Distributions for the Interpretation of Polarization Radar Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Polarization radar techniques essentially rely on detecting the oblateness of raindrops to provide a measure of mean raindrop size and then using this information to give a better estimate of rainfall rate R than is available ...
Differential Doppler Velocity: A Radar Parameter for Characterizing Hydrometeor Size Distributions
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations of Doppler-resolved spectra of differential radar reflectivity provide estimates of particle shapes as a function of their terminal velocity, and they can be derived by having the antenna at a significant ...
