Measurements and Modeling of the Full Rain Drop Size Distribution

Measurements and Modeling of the Full Rain Drop Size Distribution

The raindrop size distribution (DSD) is fundamental for quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE) and in numerical modeling of microphysical processes. Conventional disdrometers cannot capture the small drop end, in particular the drizzle mode which controls collisional processes as well as evapor...
