A method for estimating rain rate and drop size distribution from polarimetric radar measurements (2000, result): “Equation (18) is very similar to that derived from DSD measurements in Darwin, Australia, [28], and in good agreement with the DSD observations – in other studies [21], [29]–[31].”
Analysis of Rain and Snow in Frequency Space (2008, methodology): “Instead of using separate tools to remove and to render rain and snow, we present a framework that does both.”
Relations between radar reflectivity, liquid‐water content, and rainfall rate during the MAP SOP (2003, background): “They described the RDSD at larger scales that would incorporate multiple rain ‘patches’ as mixtures of Poisson distributions (Jameson and Kostinski 2001).”
Impact of Cloud Microphysics on the Development of Trailing Stratiform Precipitation in a Simulated Squall Line: Comparison of One- and Two-Moment Schemes (2009, background): “However, here the implicit parameterization of rain drop breakup [by limiting lr to a minimum of 20 cm 21 following Hodson (1986), Srivastava (1987), and others] largely controls the distribution of lr near the surface in 2-”
