Title
Analysis and Synthesis of Raindrop Size Distribution Time Series From Disdrometer Data
Abstract
Hydrometeorological and radio propagation applications can benefit from the capability to model the time evolution of raindrop size distribution (RSD). A new stochastic vector autoregressive semi-Markov model is proposed to randomly synthesize (generate) the temporal series of the three driving parameters of a normalized gamma RSD. Rainfall intermittence is reproduced through a discrete semi-Marko...
