de Wolf, D.A. (2001). On the Laws-Parsons distribution of raindrop sizes. Radio Science 36: doi: 10.1029/2000RS002369. issn: 0048-6604.

A new analytical function is given for the distribution density of raindrop diameters implied by the measured Laws-Parsons distribution of the volume fraction of water in rain. It yields results that differ importantly from those obtained via the Marshall-Palmer exponential function of drop diameter in the millimeter range of radar wavelengths. ¿ 2001 American Geophysical Union
