What is it about?
Orographic heavy rain consists of fewer larger drops compared to non-orographic one. Orographic difference is the reason for spatial variability of rain drop size distribution, not aerosols.

Why is it important?
Useful for understanding more about cloud physics and precipitating systems. Results find applications also in the areas like electromagnetic communication and soil erosion.
