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

Figure 2

Accumulated number of raindrops corresponding to different diameter size and fall velocity bins (a) before and (b) after QC for the entire observation period. The solid lines represent the empirical fall velocity-diameter relationship proposed by Atlas et al. [53] and the air-density adjustment is considered. The dashed lines indicate the ±60% fall velocity-diameter relationship.
