Disdrometers

At the recent Ph.D. days I had a nice short talk with Katia Cugerone about disdrometers. Since she is pretty well informed I asked for some bibliography, and she promptly sent these references you will find below. She especially delighted me telling me about how in the Fourties researchers had studied the size of drops by collecting them in floor and absorbing paper.
