Improved error analysis in estimation of raindrop spectra, rain rate, and liquid water content using multiple wavelength radars

The aim of this work is to rectify and expand upon an error analysis contained in a previous paper by Goldhirsh and Katz [1] dealing with the feasibility of estimating raindrop spectra using multiple wavelength radars. The revised error analysis demonstrates that radars operating at band ( cm) and band ( cm) may give rise to acceptable accuracies when used for the estimation of rain rate and liquid water content.
