Description:The microphysical structure of Meiyu precipitation in Eastern China is investigated using two-dimensional video disdrometer (2DVD) and S-band polarimetric radar observations. The constrained-gamma raindrop size distribution (DSD) model derived from 2DVD observations performs well in representing Meiyu DSDs. The vertical variability of polarimetric variables and retrieved DSD parameters are then investigated. The results show different patterns of vertical behavior for convective and stratiform rain due to different ice-phase and precipitation microphysical processes. The radar reflectivity of stratiform rain presents a distinct bright band (with an average echo top between 6 and
