Summary

This report describes a method of correcting measured hydrometeor distributions that deficient in large-size particles because of instrument truncation. The corrective technique is developed with the analysis of experimental data and the application of the exponential-distribution function. A discussion is presented on the power-function equations used to define hydrometeor environments and the application of the corrected spectra to these mathematical relationships. Equations are presented for the real-time analysis of truncated distribution to provide estimates of the non-truncated spectra. (Author).
