The THAMO disdrometer measures the character and amount of liquid precipitation and is located next to the tipping bucket rain gauge. The main purpose of the disdrometer is to measure drop size distribution, which it captures over 20 size classes from 0.3mm to 5.4mm, and to determine rain rate. Disdrometer results can also be used to infer several properties including drop number density, radar reflectivity, liquid water content, and energy flux.
