Abstract | In the coming years, there will be more usage of the millimetre/sub-millimetre frequencies due to congestion of the lower frequencies. At these frequencies, precipitation greatly affects the quality of service, by attenuating signals, hence the need for a thorough study and understanding in order to design mitigation techniques for improved signal quality. Previous studies modelled rainfall data using mostly unimodal statistical distributions, which may not fit multimodality encountered in the data. This paper looks at the prediction of the number of modes, given rain rates and wind speeds by looking at the occurrence of multimodality in rainfall data captured at Chilbolton Observatory, southern England from 2003 to 2009. From the drop size distributions, it develops a novel model based on the Gaussian mixture model. This enables the multimodal distributions observed by various researchers to be modelled. It provides expressions for calculating model parameters as a function of rain rate, R (mm/h) and wind speed, W (m/s). The model parameters include number of modes N m , standard deviation σ 1 –σ m of each mode along with corresponding means, μ 1–μ m . The study concludes that multimodality exists, and the average number of modes tends to increase with increasing wind speeds and rain rates. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
