Rainfall – State of the Science V191
State of the Science
Gebonden Engels 2010 9780875904818Samenvatting
Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Geophysical Monograph Series, Volume 191.
Rainfall: State of the Science offers the most up–to–date knowledge on the fundamental and practical aspects of rainfall. Each chapter, self–contained and written by prominent scientists in their respective fields, provides three forms of information: fundamental principles, detailed overview of current knowledge and description of existing methods, and emerging techniques and future research directions.
The book discusses
Rainfall microphysics: raindrop morphodynamics, interactions, size distribution, and evolution
Rainfall measurement and estimation: ground–based direct measurement (disdrometer and rain gauge), weather radar rainfall estimation, polarimetric radar rainfall estimation, and satellite rainfall estimation
Statistical analyses: intensity–duration–frequency curves, frequency analysis of extreme events, spatial analyses, simulation and disaggregation, ensemble approach for radar rainfall uncertainty, and uncertainty analysis of satellite rainfall products
The book is tailored to be an indispensable reference for researchers, practitioners, and graduate students who study any aspect of rainfall or utilize rainfall information in various science and engineering disciplines.
