Abstract

The necessity for using a three parameter raindrop size distribution in weather radar applications is quantitatively established. Using detailed theory for the microphysical interpretation of averaged complex correlations, an algorithm for extending the dual polar method for radar determination of a 3 parameter raindrop-size distribution is detailed with an illustrative example.
