Comparison between Rayleigh and Mie Scattering Assumptions for Z-R Relation and Rainfall Rate Estimation with TRMM/PR Data
Comparison of the rain rate estimated with the assumptions of Rayleigh and Mie scattering is made. We analyzed the different relationships between the radar reflective factor and rain rate (so-called Z-R relationship) with both scattering models for different DSD (droplet size distribution) and rainfall types as the wavelength is 2.2cm… Read full abstract & cite →
