Correction of Radar Reflectivity and Differential Reflectivity for Rain Attenuation at X Band. Part I: Theoretical and Empirical Basis (2005, methodology): “…and meteorological studies, such as improved rainfall estimation, retrieval of drop size distribution (DSD) parameters, hydrometeor classification, and interpretation of microphysical processes of precipitation systems (Zrnic and Ryzhkov 1999; Bringi and Chandrasekar 2001; Gorgucci et al. 2002b).”
Drop Size Distribution Retrieval with Polarimetric Radar: Model and Application (2004, methodology): “Gorgucci et al. (2002) and Bringi et al. (2002) propose to retrieve the DSD from reflectivity, differential reflectivity, and specific differential phase (KDP).”
Evaluation of a New Polarimetrically Based Z–R Relation (2004, methodology): “Further, Gorgucci et al. (2002) used scattering simulations based on normalized gamma DSD and (cid:98) parameter variations to ﬁnd the ‘‘best ﬁt’’ estimator for (cid:98) in terms of Z h , Z dr , and K dp .”
