Identifying Individual Rain Events with a Dense Disdrometer Network

Figure 5

Some subsets of the rain event parameter space. Each panel uses a different value for MIT duration. For each panel, 6 different values are displayed for . Each of the ten detectors is displayed in a different color. The reader should take care to note the different scales on the -axes from panel to panel. Although there is approximate agreement between the detectors, there is nonnegligible variability in the total number of events detected for most combinations of MIT and . Note also the very large number of events that do not qualify as events once ; these brief events are particularly numerous for brief MIT.
