Abstract 3‐cm radar signal intensity measurements, made at a range of heights up to 6,000 ft on three days with widespread moderate rain, suggest that there was considerable uniformity of drop‐size distribution and of rainfall rate with height once melting of snowflakes was complete and terminal velocity was achieved, and that in these warm‐front type situations no significant growth of precipitation was taking place below the melting layer.
