Estimation 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 کاملRaindrop size distribution estimation from S-band polarimetric radar using a regularized neural network
Radar rainrate estimates are prone to a high degree of uncertainty due to several error sources, among which the space-time variability of the raindrop size distribution (RSD). Polarimetric radar measurements enable the use of combined algorithms which reduce the sensitivity to the variability of the RSD. The aim of this work is to develop a new procedure to retrieve the RSD parameters which ca...
متن کاملP2.6 a Bayesian Approach to Retrieve Raindrop Size Distribution from Polarimetric Radar Data
The retrieval of raindrop size distribution (DSD) from polarimetric radar data (PRD) has the potential to improve the quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE), understanding precipitation microphysics and quantitative precipitation forecasts (QPF) (e.g., Brandes et al. 2004). Radar measurements and the retrieval model contain errors, which lead to errors in the retrieved DSDs. For example, i...
متن کاملA Variational Approach for Retrieving Raindrop Size Distribution from Polarimetric Radar Measurements in the Presence of Attenuation
This study presents a two-dimensional variational approach to retrieving raindrop size distributions (DSDs) from polarimetric radar data in the presence of attenuation. A two-parameter DSD model, the constrained-gamma model, is used to represent rain DSDs. Three polarimetric radar measurements, reflectivity (ZH), differential reflectivity (ZDR) and specific differential phase (KDP), are optimal...
متن کاملRainfall Estimation from Polarimetric Radar Measurements: Composite Algorithms Immune to Variability in Raindrop Shape–Size Relation
Polarization diversity radar measurements such as reflectivity factor, differential reflectivity, and differential propagation phase are extensively used in rainfall estimation. Algorithms to estimate rainfall from polarimetric radar measurements are based on a model for the raindrop shape as a function of drop diameter. Most of the current algorithms use an equilibrium shape–size model for rai...
