The conversion of rain-rate cumulative distributions from any integration time, T, to one minute is a viable option whenever local one-minute data (time series or cumulative distribution functions) are not available for microwave system design. This paper reviews some of the most common rain-rate cumulative-distribution conversion methods.

Abstract

The conversion of rain-rate cumulative distributions from any integration time, T, to one minute is a viable option whenever local one-minute data (time series or cumulative distribution functions) are not available for microwave system design. This paper reviews some of the most common rain-rate cumulative-distribution conversion methods. For selected models, it provides a complementary set of coefficients for regional and global application by performing regression to a measurements database. The performance of each model is analyzed, together with its adaptability to various climatic regions. Finally, recommendations with regard to the global applicability of models are given.
