A Gamma Parameterization for Precipitating Particle Size Distributions Containing Snowflake Aggregates Drawn from Five Field Experiments

Abstract

In this study, we investigate the tendencies of gamma parameters for particle size distributions (PSDs) containing snowflake aggregates in orographic, convective, and stratiform clouds, above snowstorms and above rainstorms, in temperatures ranging from 0° to −45°C. We find a strong relationship between
