文摘In this paper,it is shown that the differential reflectivity Z_(DR) is related to drop size distribution(DSD)and the spectral shape variation of different truncated diameters.Z_(DR) is a sensitive function to variation of DSD of the spectra.The effects of shape variation of DSD on rainfall can be deduced with a(Z_H,Z_(DR))dual-parameter technique,which is effective to improve the accuracy of rainfall measurement and is of the priority of identifying large particles of hydrometeors(especially hailstone)from the rain region.
