Short summary
Better characterization of precipitation characteristics has important implications for simulated storm behaviors and remotely-sensed retrievals of cloud intensity. We use a unique radar technique to estimate the fall speeds of media found within deep tropical clouds. These retrievals can be performed within intense storm conditions that are otherwise impractical to sample. Our observations suggest mixed media or graupel fall speeds are contextually faster than prior references.
