3D trajectories and velocities of rainfall drops in a multifractal turbulent wind field

Weather radars measure rainfall in altitude, whereas hydro-meteorologists are mainly interested in rainfall at ground level. During their fall, drops are advected by the wind, which affects the location of the measured field.
