Characteristics of Raindrop Size Distribution in Typhoon Nida (2016) before and after Landfall in Southern China from 2D Video Disdrometer Data

Figure 6

(a) Average raindrop spectra, (b) the mean and standard deviation values of mass-weighted mean diameter D_m (mm) and logarithmic normalized intercept parameter (mm⁻¹ m⁻³), (c) the shape and slope (μ–Λ) relationship, and (d) the radar reflectivity and rain rate (Z–R) relationship before landfall and after landfall. The colored squares are the mean values of D_m (mm) and (mm⁻¹ m⁻³), and the colored lines are the μ–λ relationship and Z–R relationships from Bao et al. [41], Janapati et al. [31], and Zheng et al. [42].
