DOI: 10.1175/jhm-d-25-0094.1
Abstract: The variability of raindrop size distribution (DSD) across terrain gradients plays a critical role in regulating rainfall microphysics and kinetic energy (KE), yet this variability remains under-explored in semi-arid regions. This study utilized six summers… read more here.
