TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that many intermediate sized raindrops fall up to an order of magnitude faster than expected and that these super-terminal drops are differently sized fragments of a recent break-up, moving with the speed of the parent drop and relaxing towards vt(D).

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of aerosols, both natural and anthropogenic, remains a major area of uncertainty when predicting the properties and behaviour of clouds and their influence on climate, and a period of intensive measurements took place in December 2004 in Puerto Rico, using some of the latest developments in online instrumentation such as aerosol mass spectrometers, cloud condensation nuclei counters and a hygroscopicity tandem differential mobility analyser.

TL;DR: In this article, measurements of warm fog-droplet concentrations carried out in a site in Mexico were analyzed with the purpose of identifying inhomogeneous sections of clouds, and the results showed that a broadening of the droplet spectra towards larger sizes occurs in zones of decreased droplet concentration.

TL;DR: In this paper, an evaluation of precipitation estimations on the ground for individual rainfall events was carried out by comparing the 2B31 Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) product versus a high-density, rain gauge network deployed at the ground over a small (about 1000 km2) study area in a continental region characterized by complex topography and high altitude.
