Laboratory Measurements of Spontaneous Oscillations for Moderate-Size Raindrops

Raindrop axis ratios and size distributions in Florida rainshafts: an assessment of multiparameter radar algorithms

“…Thus, we are not confident about the magnitude of the upward shift in axis ratio at mm. However, this trend toward higher for mm is qualitatively consistent with the empirical adjustment made by Goddard and Cherry [9] and with the laboratory results of Kubesh and Beard [25]. Fig.…”

Potential Role of Dual-Polarization Radar in the Validation of Satellite Precipitation Measurements

“…These intrinsic microphysical properties have been utilized extensively in the literature for various applications, including retrieval of DSD parameters and rainfall estimation. Several laboratory experiments as well as measurements of free-falling raindrops have essentially confirmed that the raindrop shapes are in the general region suggested by Beard and Chuang (Chandrasekar et al 1988;Kubesh and Beard 1993;Bringi et al 1998;Andsager et al 1999;Gorgucci et al 2000;Thurai and Bringi 2005).…”

Shape and oscillations of the water drops freely suspended in a horizontal electric field: A wind tunnel study

“…Vertical bars show standard errors in the amplitude. The experimental data of Kubesh and Beard (1993), Andsager et al (1999), Tokay et al (2000) and Szakáll et al (2010) for the amplitude of oscillations in zero electric fields are also shown in Fig. 6.…”
