摘要
Stratiform and convective precipitations have a different space-time evolution and a different impact on EM waves propagating through the atmosphere. Here a method is presented to discriminate between stratiform and convective rain, based on the knowledge of the local yearly cumulative distribution function P(R). The method exploits a modification of the EXCELL rain cell model.
