Abstract:
An acoustic disdrometer is provided for measuring precipitation. The acoustic disdrometer has an acoustic transducer positioned within an acoustic chamber defined by an acoustic shell. Precipitation impacting the acoustic shell generates sound waves that are collected by the acoustic transducer for processing.

Claim (Index 9):
A method of measuring precipitation, comprising:\n receiving an acoustic signal generated by a primary acoustic transducer of an acoustic disdrometer, wherein the acoustic signal is responsive to individual drops of precipitation impacting an acoustic shell of the acoustic disdrometer, wherein the individual drops vary in drop size; determining an acoustic frequency and an acoustic power of the acoustic signal corresponding to the individual drops of precipitation; and determining a rate of precipitation based at least in part on frequency and acoustic power of the acoustic signal.
