Abstract: Some current uses of empirical orthogonal functions (EOF) are briefly summarized, together with some relations with spectral and principal component analyses. Considered as a mean square estimation technique of unknown ...

Abstract: A geostatistical approach to areal rainfall estimation using raingage and radar measurements is described. The so-called cokriging method is used to obtain a linear estimator of ground-level rainfall depths by combining ...

Abstract: The Marseilles Hydrometeorological Experiment has been designed to improve rainfall measurement techniques over the space scales and timescales useful for urban hydrology applications. Among other sensors, an X-band light ...

Abstract: Total attenuation cross sections of raindrops derived from the Mie theory for wavelengths of 3.2, 5.6, and 10 cm and temperatures of ?10°, 0°, 10°, and 20°C have been calculated and compared to the results of the Rayleigh ...

Abstract: ince the seminal work of Zawadzki in the seventies, the so-called Taylor?s ?frozen? hypothesis has been regularly used to study the statistical properties of rainfall patterns. This hypothesis yields a drastic simplification ...
