Types of Precipitation
It denotes all the different process by which moisture reaches the earth surface from the atmosphere .
Following are the different types of precipitation
Rain :
This is most the most dominant form of precipitation in India and it denotes water droplets
which sizes varies from 0.5mm to 6 mm .
On the basis of intensity rainfall is classified as
0 - 2.5 mm/hour Light
2.5 -7.5 mm/hour Medium
>7.5 mm/hour heavy
India annual average rainfall =119 cmm
Snow
These are ice crystal having a density of 0.1 g/cc.
Drizzle
These are fine droplets of water whose size is less than .5 mm and intensity is less then 1 mm/hour .
Glaze
When droplets of water comes in contact with cold ground surface (approximately at 0 degree celsius ) then droplets of water is converted into ice .which is called as Glaze .
Sleet
These frozen rain drop of transparent in nature
Hail
These are lumps of ice which are greater than 8 mm called Hail.
if lumps smaller than 5 mm called as Graupel.
