- •
Z–R power laws from disdrometer and TRMM-PR data are derived and compared.
- •
Diversity of prefactor and exponent values of the estimated power laws is observed.
- •
An overestimation of the rain rate by the TRMM-PR algorithm is found for stratiform rain.
- •
Contemporary data from TRMM-PR and a polarimetric radar are analyzed and compared.
- •
A great variability of rain rate in a TRMM-PR footprint is observed for convective rain.
