This is because to express accurately the distribution of the number of precipitation particles in an observation volume as a function of their sizes more than one variable is necessary, whereas single-frequency radars provide only one reflectivity observation per volume. Solid precipitation is characterized by an additional type of significant uncertainty stemming from the fact
