Validation of DSDs of GPM DPR with Ground-Based Disdrometers over the Tianshan Region, China by Xinyu Lu, Xiuqin Wang, Cheng Li, Yan Liu, Yong Zeng, Hong Huo

“…In the applied single-frequency retrieval algorithm (SFA), the rainfall parameters retrieved from the Ka band outperformed those retrieved from the Ku band, indicating that the Ka band has stronger detection capability in the Tianshan Mountains area, where light rain predominates. The dual-frequency ratio (DFR), i.e., the differences in the reflectivity of the raindrop spectra obtained from both the Ku and Ka bands, fluctuated more greatly than those of the GPM DPR. …”
