Abstract: geostatistical framework for quantifying the temporal evolution and predictability of rainfall fields for time lags between 5 min and 3 h is proposed. The method is based on the computation of experimental space?time ...

Abstract: he scaling and distributional properties of precipitation interamount times (IATs) are investigated using 10 years of high-resolution rain gauge observations from the U.S. Climate Reference Network. Results show that IATs ...

Abstract: geostatistical method to quantify the small-scale 3D?time structure of the drop size distribution (DSD) from the ground level up to the melting layer using radar and disdrometer data is presented. First, 3D?time radar ...

Abstract: stochastic method to disaggregate rain rate fields into drop size distribution (DSD) fields is proposed. It is based on a previously presented DSD simulator that has been modified to take into account prescribed block-averaged ...

Abstract: recipitation displays a remarkable variability in space and time. An important yet poorly documented aspect of this variability is intermittency. In this paper, a new way of quantifying intermittency based on the burstiness ...

Abstract: particular aspect of the nonstationary nature of intermittent rainfall is investigated. It manifests itself in the fact that the average rain rate varies with the distance to the surrounding dry areas. The authors call ...

Abstract: method for the stochastic simulation of (rain)drop size distributions (DSDs) in space and time using geostatistics is presented. At each pixel, the raindrop size distribution is described by a Gamma distribution with two ...

Abstract: The adequacy of the gamma model to describe the variability of raindrop size distributions (DSD) is studied using observations from an optical disdrometer. Model adequacy is checked using a combination of Kolmogorov–Smirnov ...
