• For many drops in a volume, if we use Rayleigh approximation
• Marshall and Palmer developed
• but need Mie for f>10GHz.

Rain retrieval AlgorithmsSeveral types of algorithms used to retrieve rainfall rate
with polarimetric radars; mainly • R(Zh), • R(Zh, Zdr)• R(Kdp) • R(Kdp, Zdr)where R is rain rate,
Zh is the horizontal co-polar radar reflectivity factor,
Zdr is the differential reflectivity
Kdp is the differential specific phase shift a.k.a. differential propagation phase, defined as

Rain Gauges
• Tipping bucket - 0.2 mm (0.007 in) falls the lever tips and an electrical signal is sent to the recorder
• Weighing rain gauge-storage bin atop a pen recording the changes of weight on a rotating drum . More expensive than Tipping buckets.
• Optical -These have a row of collection funnels. In an enclosed space below each is a laser diode and a phototransistor detector. When enough water is collected to make a single drop, it drips from the bottom, falling into the laser beam path. The sensor is set at right angles to the laser so that enough light is scattered to be detected as a sudden flash of light. The flashes from these photodetectors are then read and transmitted or recorded.
