Most atmospheric motions of different spatial scales and precipitation are closely related to
phase transitions in clouds. The continuously increasing resolution of large‐scale and …

This paper explores the many aspects of precipitation measurement that are relevant to
providing an accurate global assessment of this important environmental parameter …

Mesoscale convective system (MCS)-organized convective storms with a size of~ 100 km
have increased in frequency and intensity in the USA over the past 35 years, causing …

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 performance of the laser-optical Particle Size Velocity (PARSIVEL) disdrometer is
evaluated to determine the characteristics of falling snow. PARSIVEL's measuring principle …

Understanding drop size distribution (DSD) variability has important implications for remote
sensing and numerical modeling applications. Twelve disdrometer datasets across three …

Characteristics of raindrop size distribution (DSD) during the Meiyu season are studied
using ground-based disdrometer measurements carried out in eastern China (Nan**g) from …

The phase of precipitation is important for weather forecasts, land hydrology and remote
sensing. To quantify the temperature and pressure dependence of snow frequency (F, in%) …

The variability of the (rain) drop size distribution (DSD) in time and space is an intrinsic
property of rainfall, which is of primary importance for various environmental fields such as …

Determining surface precipitation phase is required to properly correct precipitation gage
data for wind effects, to determine the hydrologic response to a precipitation event, and for …
