Further evidence for superterminal raindrops

A network of optical disdrometers (including laser precipitation monitors and a two-dimensional video disdrometer) was utilized to determine whether the recent reports of “superterminal” raindrops were spurious results of drop breakup occurring on instrumentation. Results unequivocally show that superterminal raindrops at small (less than 1 mm) sizes are ubiquitous, are measurable over an exten...
