A STUDY OF RAINDROP-SIZE DISTRIBUTIONS AND THEIR VARIATION WITH HEIGHT
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to describe rain in terms of raindrop-size distributions and to relate these distributions to the physical processes which affect the growth or evaporation of the raindrops. The immediate significance of the present work is that (1) it contributes to our understanding of the final stage of precipitation growth, and (2) it provides information which is useful in the interpretation of weather radar observations.
