An Investigation of the Characteristics of the Mei–Yu Raindrop Size Distribution and the Limitations of Numerical Microphysical Parameterization by Zhaoping Kang, Zhimin Zhou, Yinglian Guo, Yuting Sun, Lin Liu

“…At low <i>RR</i>, decreased small-drop and increased large-drop concentrations cause corresponding leftward and rightward RSD shifts with decreasing altitude—a pattern well captured by simulations. However, at elevated rainfall rates, the simulated concentration of large raindrops shows no significant increase, resulting in negligible rightward shifting of RSD in the model outputs. …”
