PrecipClassifier
The PrecipClassifier
implementation closely follows the fuzzy method of Version 2: Warm season1 , which includes the default fuzzy parameter values. For the
classes of rain, the default values of the membership functions for textures of reflectivity
and differential phase take the common values of precipitation of the preclassifier.
This classifier has the same default settings for S-band and C-band radars. The optimal parameters of membership functions for differential reflectivity are somewhat different for C-band radars.
