## Abstract Experimental data relating to drop size distribution in rain are examined and it is shown that in many cases the size distribution is in accordance with the following formulae 1 โ __F__ = exp [โ(x/a)^n^] __a__ = A I^p^ __W = C I^r^__ where __F__ = fraction of liquid water in the air com
This paper presents a model that simulates the size distribution and erosivity of raindrops and throughfall drops. It utilizes existing models of rainfall drop size distribution and fall velocity and combines them with newly collated evidence of throughfall drop size distributions. A sensitivity ana
