- Abstract
In this study, we take a closer look at the important issue of μ-Λ relationships in raindrop size distributions (DSD) by conducting a systematic analysis of twenty months of rainfall data in the Netherlands. A new power-law model for representing μ-Λ relationships based on double normalization framework is proposed and used to derive separate μ-Λ relationships for stratiform and convective rain events. The sensitivity of the obtained relationships to measurement uncertainty is studied by applying two different quality control filters based on the mass-weighted mean drop diameter (Dm) and liquid water content (LWC). Our results show that there are significant differences in μ-Λ relationships between convective and stratiform rainfall types. However, the retrieved relationships appear to be quite robust to measurement noise and there is a good agreement with other reference relations for similar climatological conditions.
