The Two-Dimensional Video Disdrometer (2DVD) is a stationary ground-based optical disdrometer. It is equipped with two line-scan cameras that provide continuous measurements of various precipitation properties such as: droplet shape, fall velocity, and size distribution. The 2DVD is capable of accurate measurements for all precipitation particles with a diameter > 0.2 mm, making it well-suited for various precipitation studies.
