Abstract
The relevance of the measurement of raindrop-size distributions is discussed and data collection using a Joss distrometer is described. The most important sources of error in the experiment, due to both instrumental and environmental factors, are discussed. The results are analysed in a conventional manner, providing a relationship between rainfall rate and radar reflectivity factor.
