High-resolution Rainfall Rate and Dsd Estimation from X-band Polarimetric Radar Measurements
This study proposes investigation of new attenuation correction and microphysical retrieval methods for X-band polarimetric radar (XPOL). It will concentrate on exploring the dependence of the retrieval on raindrop size distribution variability, and its sensitivity with respect to the selection of oblateness-size relation (or axial ratio) and maximum diameter limit. Variations in the assumed fo...
متن کاملDrop Shape and Dsd Retrieval with an X-band Dual Polarization Radar
There is a renewed interest in the use of X-band weather radars, due to specific advantages such as applications to rainfall estimation in light rain, monitoring of sensitive areas that are inadequately covered by operational radar networks as well as the radar network concept introduced by the Center for Collaborative Adaptive Sensing of the Atmosphere (CASA) (Chandrasekar et al. 2004). The us...
متن کاملComparison of Two Raindrop Size Distribution Retrieval Algorithms for X-Band Dual Polarization Observations
In this study the authors evaluate two algorithms, the so-called beta ( ) and constrained methods, proposed for retrieving the governing parameters of the “normalized” gamma drop size distribution (DSD) from dual-polarization radar measurements. The method treats the drop axis ratio as a variable and computes drop shape and DSD parameters from radar reflectivity (ZH), differential reflectivity ...
متن کاملRainfall retrieval from polarimetric X-band radar measurements
Dual polarization radars have shown considerable improvement of quantitative estimation of rainfall rate and raindrop size distribution (DSD) parameters. Most studies have been done with S and C-band radars and only a few studies with higher X-band weather radars. X-band radars have the advantages of lower cost and higher differential phase shift but with higher attenuation too. Furthermore, th...
متن کاملP2b.1 Constrained Gamma Drop Size Model for Polarimetric Radar Rain Estimation: Justification and Development
Accurate rain estimation from radar measurements has been a difficult task due to the variation of raindrop size distribution (DSD), lack of accurate axis ratio model, measurement error, clutter, and so forth. Previously, rain estimation from weather radars has been largely dependent upon empirical relations such as R-Z relations. The development of polarimetric radar makes accurate rain DSD re...
