Describing the Shape of Raindrop Size Distributions Using Uncorrelated Raindrop Mass Spectrum Parameters

Rainfall retrieval algorithms often assume a gamma-shaped raindrop size distribution (DSD) with three mathematical parametersNw ,Dm , andμ. If only two independent measurements are available, as with the dual-frequency precipitation radar on the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission core sa...
