Abstract: The shape of averaged drop size distributions (DSD) is studied from a large sample of data (892 h) collected at several sites of various latitudes. The results show that neither the hypothesis of an exponential distribution ...

Abstract: The disdrometer is an instrument used worldwide to measure the size distribution of raindrops at ground level. In this paper, a data-acquisition and real-time processing system designed for disdrometer measurements is ...

Abstract: patiotemporal rainfall variability is a key parameter controlling the dynamics of mosquitoes/vector-borne diseases such as malaria, Rift Valley fever (RVF), or dengue. Impacts from rainfall heterogeneity at small scales ...
