Abstract :
In ultrasonic outdoor applications, the propagation of the ultrasonic wave could be affected by the rain, so that, it is necessary to develop a system for characterization of the most significant rain´s parameters, such as the three-dimensional Cartesian location of the raindrops respect an origin point, as well as their size and rain´s density. Thus, a relationship between the characteristics of the ultrasonic wave and the conditions of the rain could be established.
