Drop size ambiguities in the retrieval of precipitation profiles from dual-frequency radar measurements

The threat of flooding from landfalling tropical cyclones is a function of the local variation in rain rate and rain accumulation. To date, these have been inferred from single-frequency radar reflec-tivity measurements. However, the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission experience has confirmed that one of the main difficulties in retrieving rain profiles using a single-frequency radar is the un...

Estimation of Raindrop Size Distribution Parameters from Polarimetric Radar Measurements

Estimation of raindrop size distribution over large spatial and temporal scales has been a long-standing goal of polarimetric radar. Algorithms to estimate the parameters of a gamma raindrop size distribution model from polarimetric radar observations of reflectivity, differential reflectivity, and specific differential phase are developed. Differential reflectivity is the most closely related ...

Observation of Precipitation and Drop-Size Distribution Associated with a Typhoon using VHF Radar

This paper describes some of the microphysical and kinematic properties of precipitating systems associated with a typhoon using Chug-Li VHF radar. In order to gain a better understanding of these mechanisms and the vertical structure of the precipitation associated with a typhoon at different stages of development, an analysis has been carried out of the radar back-scattered signal in order to...

Precipitation classification at mid-latitudes in terms of drop size distribution parameters

The drop size distribution (DSD) is a fundamental property of rainfall because the shape of the distribution reflects the physics of rain formation processes. Given the lack of studies on the DSD at mid-latitudes, the present work focuses on the microphysical characterization of precipitation events occurring in Italy, using two different types of disdrometer. A large number of different rain e...

Polarimetric Radar Rain Estimation through Retrieval of Drop Size Distribution Using a Bayesian Approach

This study proposes a Bayesian approach to retrieve raindrop size distributions (DSDs) and to estimate rainfall rates from radar reflectivity in horizontal polarization ZH and differential reflectivity ZDR. With this approach, the authors apply a constrained-gamma model with an updated constraining relation to retrieve DSD parameters. Long-term DSD measurements made in central Oklahoma by the t...
