Network observations of raindrop size distribution over Indonesian maritime continent

不仅要测量降雨量，而且要测量雨滴大小分布（DSD），以了解降雨机制。DSD在印度尼西亚海洋大陆的网络观测是必不可少的。在Kototabang（苏门答腊），Pontianak（加里曼丹），Manado（苏拉威西）和Biak（新几内亚）安装了Disdrometers，并对DSD进行了连续观测。阐明了经度、降水云型、MJO、雷电活动等与DSD特征的关系。

It is important to measure not only rain amount but also raindrop size distribution (DSD) to understand a rain mechanism. The network observations of DSD over Indonesian maritime continent is indispensable. Disdrometers were installed at Kototabang (Sumatra), Pontianak, (Kalimantan), Manado (Sulawesi) and Biak (New Guinea), and the continuous observations of DSD were carried out. It clarified about the relation of longitude, a precipitating cloud type, MJO, thunder activity, etc. and the DSD characteristics.
