Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The Distromet disdrometer (model RD-80) measures the character and amount of liquid precipitation and is located next to the tipping bucket rain gauge. The main purpose of the disdrometer is to measure drop size distribution, which it captures over 20 size classes from 0.3mm to 5.4mm, and to determine rain rate. Disdrometer results can also be used to infer several properties including drop number density, radar reflectivity, liquid water content, and energy flux.
Rain that falls on the disdrometer sensor moves a plunger on a vertical axis. The disdrometer transforms the plunger motion into electrical impulses whose strength is proportional to drop diameter. Data are collected once a minute.
Français : Le capteur de gouttellettes, ou disdromètre, model RD-80 mesure la distribution de diamètres des gouttes de pluie. Il travaille de concert avec un pluviomètre. L'appareil classe les gouttes plus vingt diamètres allant de 0,3 mm à 5,4mm. On utilise ses résultats pour obtenir la densité par diamètre, la réflectivité radar, le contenu en eau liquide et les flux d'énergie. La pluie tombant sur l'appareil déplace la plaque au sommet qui est relié à un capteur de charge qui transforme le mouvement en impulsion électrique proportionnelle à la masse de la goutte. |
