【 摘 要 】

The purpose of this study is to investigate ways to combine estimates from the Surface Reference and Hitschfeld-Bordan methods into a hybrid path attenuation estimate and to study its performance using dual-frequency radar data provided by the Dual-Frequency Precipitation Radar (DPR) on board the Global Precipitation Mission (GPM) satellite.
