Journal ArticleDOI
Do all raindrops fall at terminal speed
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).
Journal ArticleDOI

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.

On the behaviour of raindrop fall speed due to wind
Journal ArticleDOI
Fine-scale measurements of fog-droplet concentrations: a preliminary assessment
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of 2B31 TRMM‐product rain estimates for single precipitation events over a region with complex topographic features
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.
