Raindrop size distribution (DSD) retrieval from remote radar measurements or from in situ disdrometer measurements is an important area of research. If the shape () and slope () of a three-parameter gamma distribution n(D) N 0 D exp(D ) are related to one another, as recent disdrometer measurements suggest, the gamma DSD model is simplified to a two-parameter DSD, that is, a constrained gamma DSD. An empirical relation between the and was derived using moments estimated from video-disdrometer measurements.
