Additional information

This paper presents the first analysis of the uncertainty of the raindrop-size distribution through the use of a computational electromagnetic scattering model and a new method of statistical analysis of raindrop distrometer data. With the move towards higher frequencies for communications variability in rain parameters is increasingly important. The paper has led to the re-examination of the effect of raindrop size distribution in the wider radio science community. Townsend was a supervised PhD student, Hodges was a supervised researcher.
