Abstract

The two parameter estimator developed for 13.8 and 24 GHz is shown to be robust for rainfall rates in the range of 1-100 mm hr^-1. The fundamental requirement for the successful application of this estimator is that Z and K be independent. If this is not the case, the estimator degenerates to a conventional R = aZ^b or R = cK^d form.
