Abstract

The rainfall intensity from convective clouds vary during the period of rainfall. In the present paper a mathematical expression has been deduced for the temporal variation of rainfall intensity in terms of terminal velocity v, drop diameter D and drop size distribution ND and an effort has made to lay down the condition for various types of temporal variation of rainfall intensity mathematically and the physical significance of various expressions were tried to explain. It is shown that the presence or absence of updraft during precipitation reaching ground is an important controlling factor. It has also been shown that the drop size distribution also plays a significant role.
