The results of measurements of the simulated rainfall at the Holloman test tract facility are presented. Raindrop spectra measurements were made with a drop camera and with an optical electronic drop spectrometer. A small amount of drop measurements using the flour pellet method were also made for comparison with the other methods. The measurements of the simulated rainfall were compared with average natural rainfall data collected with the drop camera. The average spectra from the track has a liquid water content of 7.96 g/m3 and an equivalent rainfall rate of 158.7 mm/hr. It does not correspond directly to any natural rainfall area. The natural rain data have been sorted into data from arctic, tropical, and temperate regions, and average raindrop spectra for various frequencies of occurrences calculated. (Author).
Raindrop size distributions are presented in a tabular form for 1872 samples of one cubic meter each. These were obtained from a drop camera at Bogor, Indonesia during the period of December 31, 1959 through April 10, 1961. For each of the samples, certain parameters calculated from the distribution are reported. These include rainfall rate, radar reflectivity, liquid water content, attenuation cross-section, median volume diameter, and the total number of drops. Average distributions for various rainfall rates and radar reflectivities are also reported. (Author).
Raindrop size distributions are presented in a tabular form for 4721 samples of one cubic meter each. These were obtained from a drop camera near Franklin, North Carolina during the period of December 21, 1960 through March 25, 1962. For each of the samples, certain parameters calculated from the distribution are reported. These include rainfall rate, radar reflectivity, liquid water content, attenuation cross-section, median volume diameter, and the total number of drops. Average distributions for various rainfall rates and radar reflectivities are also reported. (Author).
Raindrop size distributions are presented in a tabular form for 1703 samples of one cubic meter each. These were obtained from a drop camera at Corvallis, Oregon during the period of December 19, 1957 through June 28, 1958. For each of the samples, certain parameters calculated from the distribution are reported. These include rainfall rate, radar reflectivity, liquid water content, attenuation cross-section, median volume diameter, and the total number of drops. Average distributions for various rainfall rates and radar reflectivities are also reported. (Author).
Raindrop size distributions are presented in a tabular form for 3135 samples of one cubic meter each. These were obtained from a drop camera at Island Beach, New Jersey during the period of October 30, 1960 through May 24, 1962. For each of the samples, certain parameters calculated from the distribution are reported. These include rainfall rate, radar reflectivity, liquid water content, attenuation cross-section, median volume diameter, and the total number of drops. Average distributions for various rainfall rates and radar reflectivities are also reported. (Author).
