On the Laws‐Parsons distribution of raindrop sizes

A new analytical function is given for the distribution density of raindrop diameters implied by the measured Laws-Parsons distribution of the volume fraction of water in rain. It yields results that differ importantly from those obtained via the Marshall-Palmer exponential function of drop diameter in the millimeter range of radar wavelengths.
