Diurnal Variation Characteristics of Raindrop Size Distribution Observed by a Parsivel² Disdrometer in the Ili River Valley

Figure 10

Scatter plots of (where is in mm⁻¹·m⁻³) versus D_m (mm) for stratiform (light blue dots) and convective (light pink dots) rain types. The two black rectangles correspond to the maritime and continental convective clusters and the black dashed line is a separation line between stratiform and convective rain proposed by Bringi et al. [1]. The average values of and D_m (along with plus-minus standard deviation) for stratiform and convective rain types at different time periods are distinguished by different symbols and explained in the legend.
