Journal ArticleDOI
Radar Measurement of Rainfall—A Summary
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors find that both confusion and misunderstanding exist about the inherent ability of radar to measure rainfall, about factors that contribute to errors, and about the importance of careful calibration and signal processing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experiments in Rainfall Estimation with a Polarimetric Radar in a Subtropical Environment
TL;DR: In this paper, a unique dataset consisting of high-resolution polarimetric radar measurements and dense rain gauge and disdrometer observations collected in east-central Florida during the summer of 1998 was examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
A method for estimating rain rate and drop size distribution from polarimetric radar measurements
TL;DR: The authors propose and demonstrate a method for retrieving DSD parameters for calculating rain rate and the characteristic particle size and shows improvement over the existing models and techniques because it can retrieve all three parameters of the gamma distribution.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Statistical and Physical Description of Hydrometeor Distributions in Colorado Snowstorms Using a Video Disdrometer
TL;DR: In this paper, a two-dimensional video disdrometer was used to determine the form of particle size distributions (PSDs) and search for useful interrelationships among the governing parameters of assumed distribution forms and environmental factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of Video Disdrometer and Polarimetric Radar Data to Characterize Rain Microphysics in Oklahoma
TL;DR: In this paper, data from three 2D video disdrometers and an S-band polarimetric radar are used to characterize rain microphysics in Oklahoma and a method of sorting and averaging based on two parameters (SATP) is proposed.
