Estimating raindrop size distributions using microwave link measurements: potential and limitations

Estimating raindrop size distributions using microwave link measurements: potential and limitations

<p>We present a novel method of using two or three collocated microwave link instruments to estimate the three parameters of a gamma raindrop size distribution (DSD) model. This allows path-average DSD measurements over a path length of several kilometers as opposed to the point measurements o...
