Application of dual-frequency millimeter-wave Doppler spectra for the retrieval of drop-size distributions in precipitation
This dissertation presents a procedure that uses dual-frequency millimeter-wave Doppler spectra to retrieve the drop-size distribution of rain. Using two frequencies rather than one makes it possible to extract information about the drop-size distribution with less dependence on models. The two data...
