Abstract: An experimental study of small-scale variability of raindrop size distributions (DSDs) has been carried out at Wallops Island, Virginia. Three Joss?Waldvogel disdrometers were operated at a distance of 0.65, 1.05, and 1.70 ...

Abstract: Error characteristics of rainfall measurements were studied using six collocated Joss?Waldvogel (JW) disdrometers that are located at NASA?s Wallops Flight Facility. The six disdrometer means of rain rate R, reflectivity ...

Abstract: Characteristics of the raindrop size distribution in seven tropical cyclones have been studied through impact-type disdrometer measurements at three different sites during the 2004?06 Atlantic hurricane seasons. One of the ...

Abstract: A comparative study of daily and monthly rainfall between research and operational gauges was conducted at the mid-Atlantic region. Fifty research tipping-bucket gauges were deployed to 20 sites where each site had dual ...

Abstract: patial variability of rainfall was studied through a gauge network on the Delmarva Peninsula. The gauge network consists of 11 dual- or triple-tipping-bucket sites ranging from 1- to 150-km separation distances. The time ...
