Experimental Quantification of the Variability of the Raindrop Size Distribution at Small Scales

Joël Jaffrain

Reliable quantitative precipitation estimation is crucial to better understand and eventually prevent water-related natural hazards (floods, landslides, avalanches, ...). Because rainfall is highly variable in time and space, precipitation monitoring and f ...

Influence of the Subgrid Variability of the Raindrop Size Distribution on Radar Rainfall Estimators

Alexis Berne, Joël Jaffrain

This work aims at quantifying the variability of the parameters of the power laws used for rain-rate estimation from radar data, on the basis of raindrop size distribution measurements over a typical weather radar pixel. Power laws between the rain rate an ...

Polarimetric X-band weather radar measurements in the tropics: radome and rain attenuation correction

Marc Schneebeli Zeugin

A polarimetric X-band radar has been deployed during one month (April 2011) for a field campaign in Fortaleza, Brazil, together with three additional laser disdrometers. The disdrometers are capable of measuring the raindrop size distributions (DSDs), henc ...

Quantification of the Small-Scale Spatial Structure of the Raindrop Size Distribution from a Network of Disdrometers

Alexis Berne, Joël Jaffrain

The spatial structure of the raindrop size distribution (DSD) conveys crucial information for reliable quantitative estimation of rainfall using remote sensing techniques. To investigate this question, a network of 16 optical disdrometers has been deployed ...
