Reference List

Dear reader

In the following you will find a list of publications dealing with measurements made with a disdrometer in precipitation and also discussing results of raindrop measurements when using simultaneously different measuring devices. Problems of calibration of the disdrometer are treated as well.
As we are interested to update this list, we would welcome it very much if you could provide us with the latest publications about these subjects. Please be aware, that only journal articles of well known journals are considered. Thank you for your support.
