TL;DR: Self-consistency tests are conducted using measurements of the snow PSD and fall velocity acquired from the Snow Video Imager/Particle Image Probe (SVI/PIP) during the winter of 2014 in the NASA Wallops flight facility site in Wallops Island, Virginia.

TL;DR: In this paper, the probability distribution of rain rates at the high end is inferred by measurements at the low to intermediate range and by the assumption that the rain rates are lognormally distributed.

TL;DR: Two independent airborne dual-wavelength techniques, based on nadir measurements of radar reflectivity factors and Doppler velocities, respectively, are investigated with respect to their capability of estimating microphysical properties of hydrometeors.

TL;DR: The main advantage of using radar for precipitation estimation is that measurements can be made over large areas, with either fairly high temporal and spatial resolution or extensive spatial coverage (about 10 000 km2 for ground-based radar and an order of magnitude more for space-based radars) as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated a simple method of estimating the single-frequency path attenuation from the differential attenuation and compared this estimate with that derived directly from the surface return.
