On the Lognormality of Rain Rate

A stochastic regression model is used in modeling rain rate. Under some conditions on the model parameters, it is shown that rain rate is asymptotically logonormal. An application of the model to the GATE (global atmospheric research program, Atlantic tropical experiment) data shows a remarkable agr...
