Estimate of rain evaporation rates from dual-wavelength lidar measurements: comparison against a model analytical solution

Rain evaporation significantly contributes to moisture and heat cloud budgets. In this paper, we illustrate an approach to estimate the median volume raindrop diameter and the rain evaporation rate profiles from dual-wavelength lidar measurements. These observational results are compared with those...
