Analysis of Measured Drop Size Spectra over Land and Sea

Figure 5

Drop size densities normalized with rain rate depicted for different precipitation rates (0–2 mm h⁻¹ (a), 2–5 mm h⁻¹ (b), 5–10 mm h⁻¹ (c), 10–20 mm h⁻¹ (d), and more than 20 mm h⁻¹ (e)) and locations: land stations (green), coastal stations (red), semienclosed seas (black), and open seas (blue). The full lines give drop size densities according to the exponential function given in (4) for 1, 3, 6, 12, and 25 mm h⁻¹.
