Disdrometer

The disdrometer measures rain drop size distributions continuously and automatically. This instrument transforms the vertical momentum of an impacting raindrop into an electric pulse whose amplitude is a function of the drop diameter. A conventional pulse height analysis yields the size distribution of raindrops. The drop diameters that it can measure are in the range of 0.3 millimeter to 5 millimeter with an accuracy of ±5%
