For over a century there have been many studies that describe the use of rain drop
measurement techniques. Initial manual measurement methods evolved due to improved …

Accurate and high spatiotemporal resolution rainfall observations are essential for
hydrological forecasting and flood management, especially in urban hydrological …

Joint size and fall velocity distributions of raindrops were measured with a Particle Size and
Velocity (PARSIVEL) precipitation particle disdrometer in a field experiment conducted …

The characteristics of raindrop size distributions (RSDs) and polarimetric radar parameters
retrieved by T-matrix for stratiform and convective precipitation in Beijing and Zhangbei …

Toward Completing the Raindrop Size Spectrum: Case Studies Involving 2D-Video Disdrometer,
Droplet Spectrometer, and Polarimetric Radar Measurements in: Journal of Applied Meteorology …

Determination of rainfall kinetic energy (KE) is required to calculate erosivity, the ability of
rainfall to detach soil particles and initiate erosion. Disdrometers can measure rainfall KE by …

Abstract “Opportunistic sensing” represents an appealing idea for collecting unconventional
data with broad spatial coverage and high resolution, but few studies have explored its …

Mechanical energy is abundant in nature and its potential is yet to be fully explored. Despite
intensive research, triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) can only collect the energy stored …

We propose a novel technique based on the quantitative detection of rain intensity from
images, ie, from pictures taken in rainy conditions. The method is fully analytical and based …

We report on fall speed measurements of raindrops in light-to-heavy rain events from two
climatically different regimes (Greeley, Colorado, and Huntsville, Alabama) using the high …
