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

Hydrology requires accurate and reliable rainfall input. Because of the strong spatial and
temporal variability of precipitation, estimation of spatially distributed rain rates is …

The advent of global precipitation data sets with increasing temporal span has made it
possible to use them for validating climate models. In order to fulfill the requirement of global …

In this paper, the operational Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission combined
radar–radiometer algorithm is thoroughly described. The operational combined algorithm is …

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

As part of the third Tibetan Plateau Atmospheric Scientific Experiment field campaign,
raindrop size distribution (DSD) measurements were taken with a laser optical disdrometer …

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 …

The characteristics of raindrop size distributions (RSDs) and polarimetric radar parameters
retrieved by T-matrix for stratiform and convective precipitation in Bei**g and Zhangbei …

The increased use of observations of rainfall microphysics from disdrometers to produce
more accurate rainfall kinetic energy estimates requires closer analysis of measurement …

Precipitation microphysics, which describes the basic characteristics of rainfall, is important
for agricultural praxis, weather prediction, aviation safety, and soil erosion prediction. In this …
