Knowledge of drop size distributions is important for deriving various rain erosivity parameters. This study investigates the potential of an optical spectro pluviometer (OSP) to measure drop size distributions. Particular attention is paid to the impact of drop sample size and derived erosivity par
The relatively high cost of commercially available raindrop spectrometers and disdrometers has inhibited detailed and intensive research on drop size distribution, kinetic energy and momentum of rainfall which are important for understanding and modelling soil erosion caused by raindrop detachment.
