Editorial statement
I support the designation of this manuscript as a Highlighted Paper. The work presents a substantial community resource that goes beyond a software implementation by establishing a standardized, reproducible framework for disdrometer data sharing and analysis. Given its potential to facilitate future observational, microphysical, and remote sensing studies, I expect it will have broad and lasting impact within the atmospheric sciences.
Short summary
disdrodb is a Python package for standardized sharing, processing, and analysis of disdrometer observations. It makes precipitation particle size distribution datasets easier to discover, access, and download, and converts heterogeneous raw measurements into global harmonized products for remote sensing precipitation retrievals and particle size distribution studies.
