Raindrop Size Distribution Retrieval Using Joint Dual-Frequency and Dual-Polarization Microwave Links

Estimation of raindrop size distribution (DSD) is essential in many meteorological and hydrologic fields. This paper proposes a method for retrieving path-averaged DSD parameters using joint dual-frequency and dual-polarization microwave links of the telecommunication system. Detailed analyses of th...
