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...
متن کاملSources of Errors in Rainfall Measurements by Polarimetric Radar: Variability of Drop Size Distributions, Observational Noise, and Variation of Relationships between R and Polarimetric Parameters
Using a set of long-term disdrometric data and of actual radar measurements from the McGill S-band operational polarimetric radar, several sources of errors in rain measurement with polarimetric radar are explored in order to investigate their relative importance and the feasibility of a polarimetric technique for estimating R in the context of the McGill S-band operational radar that performs ...
متن کاملPolarimetric Radar Signatures of a Simulated Supercell Storm Using a Two-Moment Microphysics Scheme and Polarimetric Radar Emulator
i Abstract A general polarimetric radar emulator is developed based on rigorous scattering calculations using the T-matrix method for reflectivity, differential reflectivity, specific differential phase, and co-polar cross-correlation coefficient. A continuous melting process accounts for the entire spectrum of varying density and dielectric constants. This emulator is able to simulate polarime...
متن کاملA method for estimating rain rate and drop size distribution from polarimetric radar measurements
Polarimetric radar measurements are sensitive to the size, shape and orientation of raindrops and provide information about drop size distribution (DSD), canting angle distribution and rain rate. In this paper, we propose and demonstrate a method for retrieving DSD parameters for calculating rain rate and the characteristic particle size. The DSD is assumed to be a Gamma distribution and the go...
متن کاملPolarimetric Radar Estimators Based on a Constrained Gamma Drop Size Distribution Model
Raindrop size distribution (DSD) retrieval from remote radar measurements or from in situ disdrometer measurements is an important area of research. If the shape ( ) and slope ( ) of a three-parameter gamma distribution n(D) N0D exp( D ) are related to one another, as recent disdrometer measurements suggest, the gamma DSD model is simplified to a two-parameter DSD, that is, a constrained gamma ...
