On the Variability of Drop Size Distributions over Areas
Past studies of the variability of drop size distributions (DSDs) have used moments of the distribution such as the mass-weighted mean drop size as proxies for the entire size distribution. In this study, however, the authors separate the total number of dropsNt from theDSD leaving the probability size distributions (PSDs); that is, DSD5Nt3 PSD. The variability of the PSDs are then considered u...
متن کاملDoppler Cloud Radar Derived Drop Size Distributions in Liquid Water Stratus Clouds
A cloud particle size retrieval algorithm that uses radar reflectivity factor and Doppler velocity obtained by a 35-GHz Doppler radar and liquid water path estimated from microwave radiometer radiance measurements is developed to infer the size distribution of stratus cloud particles. Assuming a constant, but unknown, number concentration with height, the algorithm retrieves the number concentr...
متن کاملRemote sensing of water cloud droplet size distributions using the backscatter glory: a case study
Cloud single scattering properties are mainly determined by the effective radius of the droplet size distribution. There are only few exceptions where the shape of the size distribution affects the optical properties, in particular the rainbow and the glory directions of the scattering phase function. Using observations by the Compact Airborne Spectrographic Imager (CASI) in 180 backscatter geo...
متن کاملDrop size distributions of tropical rain over south India
Drop size distributions (DSD) associated with tropical rainfall at Cuddalore in the south-eastern part of India have been measured by a JossWaldvogel disdrometer (RD–80 model) during September to November 2002. The rainfall data corrected for instrumental error, matches very well with rainfall rates measured by a self recording raingauge, at the same site. For further analysis of the DSD, the r...
