TLDR
In this paper, the performances of two couples of disdrometers based on different measuring principles are compared: a classical Joss-Waldvogel dis-rometer and a recently developed device, called the Pludix tested in Ferrara, Italy, and the two-dimensional video dis-remeter (2DVD) tested in Cabauw, The Netherlands.About:

Articulating and Stationary PARSIVEL Disdrometer Measurements in Conditions with Strong Winds and Heavy Rainfall
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of strong winds on the quality of optical Particle Size Velocity (PARSIVEL) disdrometer measurements is examined with data from Hurricane Ike in 2008 and from convective thunderstorms observed during the second Verification of the Origins of Rotation in Tornadoes Experiment (VORTEX2) in 2010.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of the Thies optical disdrometer performance
TL;DR: In this paper, a Monte-Carlo-based simulation was designed to propagate the uncertainties of the measurement of spheres' diameters into the estimation of rainfall accumulations, which improved the agreement among disdrometers, although apparently overcorrected the accumulation for one of the instruments.

Rainfall in the Andean Páramo: New Insights from High-Resolution Monitoring in Southern Ecuador
TL;DR: In this paper, high-resolution laser disdrometer data and standard tipping-bucket rain gauge data were used to evaluate the nature, amount, and timing of rainfall in a high-elevation grassland in the northern Andes.

Drop-Size Distributions in Thunderstorms Measured by Optical Disdrometers during VORTEX2
TL;DR: In this paper, the deployment of mobile microphysical probes in convective thunderstorms during the second Verification of the Origins of Rotation in Tornadoes Experiment (VORTEX2) is examined.

Truncated Gamma Drop Size Distribution Models for Rain Attenuation in Singapore
TL;DR: In this paper, a model that is less sensitive to errors in the extreme small and large drop diameters, the gamma model with central moments (3, 4 and 6), is proposed to model the rain drop size distribution of Singapore.

Microphysics of Clouds and Precipitation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on one major aspect of cloud microphysics, which involves the processes that lead to the formation of individual cloud and precipitation particles, and provide an account of the major characteristics of atmospheric aerosol particles.

Characterization of ceramics
TL;DR: This article reviewed the principles of Doppler radar and emphasized the quantitative measurement of meteorological parameters, and illustrated the relation of radar data and images to atmospheric phenomena such as tornadoes, microbursts, waves, turbulence, density currents, hurricanes, and lightning.

The terminal velocity of fall for water droplets in stagnant air
Ross Gunn,Gilbert D. Kinzer +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the terminal velocities for distilled water droplets falling through stagnant air are accurately determined using a new method employing electronic techniques, and the over-all accuracy of the massterminal-velocity measurements is better than 0.7 per cent.
