| Abstract: | Data on rain drop size distribution, collected at Ahmedabad, India, has
been analysed to develop empirical model on drop size distribution (DSD). Out
of the various DSD models available in literature, analysis has been done for
lognormal distribution as it has been reported to be suitable for tropical
regions. The empirical model has been derived on the basis of fit parameters
evaluated from experimental data. It is observed that data fits well in
lognormal distribution for Ahmedabad. |
