| Summary: | <p>Measurements are essential to provide information on the actual state of the atmosphere in order to improve our understanding of atmospheric processes and their role in water cycle and the climate system. In this paper we focus on measurements from optical disdrometers which seek to improve our understanding of complexity of precipitations processes at surface. In this work, we present a study focused on analyzing the key characteristics of precipitation episodes in the Basque Country. For this purpose 1 min data from disdrometers are aggregated into precipitation episodes. This analysis involves incorporating information derived from various aggregated statistics applied to various episodes variables, including duration, number of particles, rain intensity and total rainfall segmented by precipitation type, total rain amount, season and others. Finally, some comparison in between disdrometer precipitation episodes and tipping-bucket rain-gauge episodes has been done.</p> |
