This work, treats about a modeling of the weather precipitation echoes detected by a weather pulse Doppler radar. The methods used for the simulation of the Doppler spectrum, and I & Q signals representing the precipitations radar echoes, is based on a macroscopic models, i.e. random processes with assigned spectra. We propose global model, with a power spectrum having a range of statistical distributions ranging between Cauchy and Gauss called alpha-stable model. The results obtained shows that this new model represents correctly the Doppler spectrum of precipitations.
