Nonparametric Estimation of Raindrop Size Distributions from Dual-Polarization Radar Spectral Observations
This paper presents a method to retrieve raindrop size distributions (DSD) from slant profile dualpolarization Doppler spectra observations. It is shown that using radar measurements taken at a high elevation angle raindrop size distributions can be retrieved without making an assumption on the form of a DSD. In this paper it is shown that drop size distributions can be retrieved from Doppler p...
متن کاملDual-Polarization Radar Rainfall Estimation over Tropical Oceans
Dual-polarization radar rainfall estimation relationships have been extensively tested in continental and subtropical coastal rain regimes, with little testing over tropical oceans where the majority of rain on Earth occurs. A 1.5-yr Indo-Pacific warm pool disdrometer dataset was used to quantify the impacts of tropical oceanic drop-size distribution (DSD) variability on dual-polarization radar...
متن کاملCalibration Issues of Dual-Polarization Radar Measurements
Techniques for the absolute calibration of radar reflectivity Z and differential reflectivity ZDR measured with dual-polarization weather radars are examined herein. Calibration of Z is based on the idea of self-consistency among Z, ZDR, and the specific differential phase KDP in rain. Extensive spatial and temporal averaging is used to derive the average values of ZDR and KDP for each 1 dB ste...
متن کاملMeasurements and Simulations of Nadir-Viewing Radar Returns from the Melting Layer at X- and W-Bands
Simulated radar signatures within the melting layer in stratiform rain, namely the radar bright band, are checked by means of comparisons with simultaneous measurements of the bright band made by the EDOP (X-band) and CRS (W-band) airborne Doppler radars during the CRYSTALFACE campaign in 2002. A stratified-sphere model, allowing the fractional water content to vary along the radius of the part...
متن کاملEstimation of polarization parameters in radar meteorology
In this paper Cramer-Rao lower bounds are presented on the estimation accuracy of any unbi-ased estimator of key polarimetric parameters in radar meteorology. The analysis is carried out by using a widely-accepted model for radar meteorology { the multivariate Gaussian model (Rayleigh fading) { along with the assumptions that the time series of horizontally and vertically polarized echoes are a...
