Assertion (A): Radar reflectivity is dominated by the largest drops in the sample volume.
Reason (R): Reflectivity scales as the sixth power of drop diameter in the Rayleigh regime.

  • A.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
  • B.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
  • C.A is true but R is false
  • D.A is false but R is true

Answer: A

Both are true and the reason gives the scaling, and doubling a drop's diameter multiplies its contribution by sixty four. A handful of large drops can outweigh many thousands of small ones. Reflectivity and rain rate are related only statistically.
