Using an Artificial Neural Network to Assess Several Rainfall Estimation Algorithms Based on X-Band Polarimetric Variables in West Africa

Quantitative precipitation estimation using polarimetric radar in attenuation-prone frequency (X-band) in tropical regions characterized by convective rain systems with high intensities is a major challenge due to strong attenuations that can lead to total signal extinction over short distances. How...
