Triple‐Frequency Doppler Retrieval of Characteristic Raindrop Size

Triple‐Frequency Doppler Retrieval of Characteristic Raindrop Size

Abstract A retrieval for characteristic raindrop size and width of the drop size distribution (DSD) based on triple‐frequency vertical Doppler radar measurements is developed. The algorithm exploits a statistical relation that maps measurements of the differential Doppler velocities at X and Ka and...
