“…In the literature, different processes have been used to describe the distribution of natural raindrops. Among these processes, the most used are the Poisson process [ Gillespie , ; Hosking and Stow , ; Uijlenhoet et al ., ; Ma et al ., ; Uijlenhoet et al ., ], the Cox process [ Cox and Isham , ; Sasyo , ; Smith , ], and the fractal description [ Lovejoy and Schertzer , ; Lavergnat and Golé , ; Lilley et al ., ]. In the present study, we focus on steady rainfalls which has been demonstrated to be consistent with the Poisson process [ Uijlenhoet et al ., ; Jameson and Kostinski , ].…”
