- Description:
- The object of this research was to study the properties of snow or rain in the falling state that would permit positive identification of the state of the precipitation. The ultimate application was to provide a record of when it was raining or snowing and to provide a means of relating the record to conventional recording precipitation gage records. Various properties of precipitation were evaluated both by literature search and by laboratory investigation. Properties investigated included conductivity, storage of static charge, impact momentum, acoustic energies , and both optical reflectivity and opacity. Optical reflectance proved to have the most promise and a scheme for making such a measurement was proposed. Subsequent to this a prototype device was developed.
