Short summary
This study demonstrates the ability of a new method delivering the vertical distribution of particle shape to highlight riming and aggregation processes, identifying graupel and aggregates, respectively, as isometric particles. The distinction between these processes can be achieved using lidar or spectral techniques, as demonstrated in the case studies. The capability of the new method to identify rimed particles and aggregates without differentiating them can simplify statistical work.
