Obtaining Raindrop Size Model Using Method of Moment and Its Applications for South Africa Radio Systems
In this paper, the Raindrop Size Distribution (DSD) modeling and analysis are presented. Drop sizes are classified into different rain types, namely: drizzle, widespread, shower and thunderstorm. The gamma and Lognormal distribution models are employed using the method of moments estimator, considering the third, fourth and sixth order moments. The results are compared with the existing raindro...
متن کاملRaindrop Size Distribution Over Northeastern Coast of Brazil
1. INTRODUCTION The granularity of raindrops within a rain volume has been the focus of recent research projects such as the ones dealing with numerical simulation of pollutants scavenging and radar microwave electromagnetic energy dispersion by rainfall, represented by radar reflectivity factor. The raindrop size distribution (RSD) characteristics depend on the microphysical, dynamical and kin...
متن کاملEstimation 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 ...
متن کاملStatistical Analysis of the Raindrop Size Distribution Using Disdrometer Data
The present study utilizes nine years of measurements taken from a Joss–Waldvogel disdrometer (JWD). From this dataset, thirty six rainfall events, were selected and categorized, respectively, in convective and stratiform types, according to specific criteria. Six statistical distributions namely the oneand two-parameter exponential, the twoand three-parameter lognormal and finally the twoand t...
متن کاملRaindrop Size Distribution at NASA Wallops Flight Facility
In the Tropics more small drops and less large drops were found in oceanic precipitation than in continental precipitation at the given reflectivity. Similarly, more small drops and less large drops were found in remnants of a tropical cyclone than in frontal precipitation in mid-latitude site at the same reflectivity. The presence of small drops was higher in deep convective regime than in str...
