description abstractA description is given of a method of estimating the effects of truncating the raindrop size distribution (DSD) at lower and upper drop diameters Dmin and Dmax which assumes that the DSD can be approximated by a gamma distribution (including the exponential distribution). The method is used to investigate the effects of DSD truncation on rainfall integral parameters (e.g., reflectivity factor, liquid water content etc.) and on empirical relations between pairs of these integral parameters. Tests of the theoretical predictions are performed using a set of drop size data collected with a Joss disdrometer. A brief description is also given of the use of the method to determine DSD truncation effects on precipitation parameters deduced from dual-measurement techniques.
