Abstract :
The dual frequency method for measurement of profile of rain parameters is presented. The procedure takes into account signal attenuation in rain and permits to eliminate measurement ambiguity for small rain intensity. The results of numerical simulation of a rain sounding for nonuniform profile confirm the validity of the method proposed.
