Fall Speed Distributions

Fall Speed Distributions is a metric in the thermodynamics of precipitation formation that characterizes the statistical distribution of terminal velocities of hydrometeors as a function of their size, shape, and phase, thereby distinguishing how particle microphysical properties influence sedimentation rates within atmospheric models.
