Short summary
A method is developed and validated for retrieving vertical profiles of the raindrop size distributions (DSD) parameters from a single-frequency Ka-band radar in this study. Some unique characteristics of the vertical profiles of DSD parameters in the eastern Tibetan Plateau are found. The empirical relationships for quantitative precipitation estimates and attenuation correction in the eastern Tibetan Plateau with Ka-band radar are derived.
