Abstract

This paper investigates a technique for estimating Drop Size Distribution (DSD) model parameters from attenuation-corrected X-band radar data. The DSD model is assumed to be a three parameter "normalized" gamma distribution. Closely matched X-band (XPOL) and S-band (S-POL) dual-polarization radar measurements collected during the International H ₂O Experiment (IHOP) are used to assess the X-band based DSD retrieval. The goal of this comparison is to understand the relative accuracy of X-band DSD retrievals relative to those based on S- (2.8 GHz) band radar observation. The study further provides limited evaluation of the X-band DSD estimates using in-situ 2D-video disdrometer measurements available from the Ionian Sea Rainfall Experiment (ISREX).
