In hydrology and geomorphology, less attention has been paid to rain event properties such
as duration, mean and peak rain rate than to rain properties such as drop size or kinetic …

Optical disdrometers are present weather sensors with the ability of providing detailed
information on precipitation such as rain intensity, radar reflectivity or kinetic energy …

Automotive safety systems aim to provide maximum protection to vehicle occupants and
vulnerable road users. These safety features rely on data from surround sensors such as …

Joint size and fall velocity distributions of raindrops were measured with a Particle Size and
Velocity (PARSIVEL) precipitation particle disdrometer in a field experiment conducted …

The raindrop size distribution (DSD) quantifies the microstructure of rainfall and is critical to
studying precipitation processes. We present a method to improve the accuracy of DSD …

Healthy soils are one of the key priorities of the EU Soil Strategy, and soil erosion can
present a threat to soils around the world. Rainfall erosivity is the main driver of soil erosion …

Abstract Knowledge of the full rainfall drop size distribution (DSD) is critical for
characterising liquid water precipitation for applications such as rainfall retrievals using …

This paper presents a new approach for the test of automotive sensor systems in rain. The
approach is based on an indoor test method, which helps to save test kilometers and test …

A thorough understanding of crop canopy interception is crucial for understanding the
relationship between water management and agriculture in water-limited regions. The …

A stochastic model of rainfall rate is used to examine the temporal variability of rainfall
during heavy convective rain periods. The model represents the microstructure of rainfall …
