Abstract

We study the sampling effect on radar measurements of inhomogeneous media and the resultant rain estimation. A two-level drop size distribution (DSD) model is proposed, in which DSD parameters are assumed to be variable for representing the sampling effects. The dependence of statistical moments on the variation of DSD parameters are calculated and applied to radar-based rain estimation.
