 INTRODUCTION

 This measurement of precipitation is of crucial

importance for meteorology, hydrology, and
agriculture.

 Until now rain gauge is the first device used to

estimate precipitation by multiplying rainfall
intensity by its duration.

 However, these devices cannot measure the micro

physical properties of rain drops.
 OBSERVING SYSTEMS

Primitivemethod
1.Collect drops by a box with dye paper.
2.The wasting time and low efficiency.

Radar and satellite sensors

1.Collect data in large region.
2.Not accurate enough in analyzing
rather small region

Disdrometers
1.Analyze raindrop particles.
 TYPES OF DISDROMETER

Joss-waldvogel Disdrometer.

Acoustic Disdrometer

Optical Particle size Velocity
