Description of the Book:

Differences in rain rate between TMI and PR vary systematically with PR Z-profile statistics, whose frequency of occurrence is modified to create seasonal biases in the sub-tropical Southeastern U.S. (and almost certainly elsewhere). Tropical (non-tropical) DSDs in N. Alabama exhibit larger (smaller) D(sub 0), and larger (smaller) N(sub 0) and mu. The formulation process for empirical retrievals of DSD using dual-pol radar is sensitive to D(sub max) assumptions used in the scattering model stage. 4. DSD retrievals from Parsivel disdrometers compare favorably to those of the 2DVD unless rain rates exceed 25 mm/hr and D(sub m) exceeds 2 mm (at which point the Parsivels overestimate D(sub m) and rain rate
