Abstract:

Scattering properties of nonspherical raindrops are analyzed in geometric optics approximation. Mathematical simulation is performed for numerical models of shapes of the raindrops taking into account their oscillation during fall. Based on the simulation results, we propose an optimized geometrical scheme for optical disdrometer.
