    Size matters: NASA measures Raindrop Sizes from Space to understand Storms

    April 2, 2016, Categories  Astronomy/Space, Environment/Geology

    This is a conceptual image showing how the size and distribution of raindrops varies within a storm. Blues and greens represent small raindrops that are 0.5-3mm in size. Yellows, oranges, and reds represent larger raindrops that are 4-6mm in size. A storm with a higher ratio of yellows, oranges, and reds will contain more water than a storm with a higher ratio of blues and greens. Credit: Credits: NASA/Goddard
