Phase Space Parameterization of Rain: The Inadequacy of Gamma Distribution
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he authors test the adequacy of gamma distribution to describe the statistical variability of raindrop diameters in 1-min disdrometer data using the Kolmogorov?Smirnov goodness-of-fit test. The results do not support the ...
The Droplike Nature of Rain and Its Invariant Statistical Properties
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This study looks for statistically invariant properties of the sequences of inter-drop time intervals and drop diameters. The authors provide evidence that these invariant properties have the following characteristics: 1) ...
Orographic Signature on Extreme Precipitation of Short Durations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his paper investigates how atmospheric circulation and orography affect the spatial variability of extreme precipitation in terms of depth?duration?frequency (DDF) curve parameters. To this aim, the Italian territory was ...
