Abstract
An instrument which gives a continuous, automatic record of the size distribution of raindrops at ground level is described. The light scattered by the drops in falling through an optically defined area of a light beam is focused on to a photomultiplier cell and the resulting voltage pulses are sorted electronically into eight different size groups. The spectrometer is used to study the variation of the dropβsize spectrum with time and with the rate of rainfall. Calibration curves and some specimen results are presented.
