Abstract :
This presentation describes a technique for generating a discrete random variable (DRV) for raindrop diameter when using a raindrop geometry model that is not continuous in nature. This can be applied to high-frequency canonical problems such as satellite dish simulations, where modelling precipitation at the particulate level enhances the accuracy of the obtained results.
