Evidence from Tropical Raindrop Spectra of the Origin of Rain from Stratiform versus Convective Clouds
Ali Tokay,David A. Short +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an empirical stratiform-convective classification method based on N 0 and R (rainfall rate) is presented. But, the occurrence of precipitation was found to be 74% (stratiform) and 26% (convection) but total rainfall, on the other hand, was...

Comparison of Drop Size Distribution Measurements by Impact and Optical Disdrometers
TL;DR: In this article, a set of optical and impact-type disdrometers were used to test how accurately they measure drop size distributions (DSDs), and their use in determining radar rainfall relations such as that between reflectivity and rainfall rate was analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of Raindrop Size Distribution Measurements by Collocated Disdrometers
TL;DR: In this paper, an impact-type Joss-Waldvogel disdrometer, a two-dimensional video dis-rometer and a laser optical OTT Particle Size and Velocity (PARSIVEL) dis-device were used to measure the raindrop size distribution (DSD) over a 6-month period in Huntsville, Alabama.
Journal ArticleDOI
PARSIVEL Snow Observations: A Critical Assessment
TL;DR: In this article, the performance of the laser-optical Particle Size Velocity (PARSIVEL) disdrometer is evaluated to determine the characteristics of falling snow.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of the New Version of the Laser-Optical Disdrometer, OTT Parsivel2
TL;DR: A comparative study of raindrop size distribution measurements has been conducted at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center where the focus was to evaluate the performance of the upgraded laser-optical OTT Particle Size Velocity (Parsivel2; P2) disdrometer.
