Abstract
Disdrometers are devices used in many disciplines which determine
individual raindrop size, location, and arrival time. All disdrometers currently on
the market cost around ve thousand dollars or more. The goal of the project was to
create an inexpensive disdrometer with a useful degree of precision. Six designs were
theorized and one was built. An analysis was then completed on the data collected by
this disdrometer. It was determined that the new disdrometer is not yet able to give
reliable results, but there is potential for cheaper disdrometers in the future.
