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

Figure 6

Histograms of different RSD parameters at different time periods of the day: (a–d) rainfall rate, log₁₀R (where R is in mm·h⁻¹); (e–h) liquid water content, log₁₀W (where W is in g·m⁻³); (i–l) mass-weighted average diameter, D_m (mm); (m–p) normalized intercept parameter, (where is in mm⁻¹·m⁻³). (a, e, i, m): 02–07 LST; (b, f, j, n): 08–13 LST; (c, g, k, o): 14–19 LST; (d, h, l, p): 20-01 LST. Mean values (mean), standard deviation (std), and skewness (skew) are also given in the panels.
