Abstract: An investigation of the physical shape of raindrops using two cameras at right angles is described, and the results are tabulated and graphed. The data included measurements of 1783 raindrops of which 569 were classified ...

Abstract: It is shown that the Z-R relationship determined by Cunning and Sax (1977) includes additional useful information of cloud physics. The physical processes by which the tropical rainshafts were formed was simple, probably ...

Abstract: The reduction in catch due to the shape of the housing of the U.S. Weather Bureau standard recording gage was explored using data from Weather Bureau stations with both recording and nonrecording gages, a gaging site which ...

Abstract: Known sources of data from arrays of instantaneous precipitation intensity recorders in southern Germany, east-central Illinois, northeastern Illinois, central Florida, and Hilo, Hawaii are obtained. These data are analyzed ...

Abstract: Raingage records from four climatic zones (maritime subtropical, continental temperate, maritime temperate and midlatitude interior) were analyzed to study instantaneous rainfall rates as defined by 1 and 4 min accumulations. ...

Abstract: Two-minute rainfall rates have been measured along lines of recording rain gages in Florida and Illinois. Knowledge of the frequencies of occurrence of short-duration rainfall rates is needed for estimating attenuation of ...

Abstract: The studies described in the companion paper (Part 1) led to an intensive field study in July 1970. The field study employed networks of recording raingages, wind recorders, and hygrothermographs, along with a meteorological ...

Abstract: Long-term precipitation records indicated that, on the average, 15% more warm season precipitation falls on the forested western Shawnee Hills of southern Illinois than falls on the rural farm flatlands at 120 m lower ...
