| Research Abstract |
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.
