Abstract. In 2021, a group of seven italian institutions decided to bring together their know-how, experience, and instruments for measuring the drop size distribution (DSD) of atmospheric precipitation giving birth to the Italian Group of Disdrometry (in Italian named: Gruppo Italiano Disdrometria, GID, https://www.gid-net.it/). The GID has made freely available a database of 1-minute records of DSD collected by the disdrometer network along the Italian peninsula. At the time of writing, the disdrometer network is composed of eight laser disdrometers belonging to six different Italian institutions (including research centers, universities and environmental regional agencies). This work aims to document the technical aspects of the italian DSD database consisting of 1-minute sampling data from 2012 to 2021 in a uniform standard format defined within GID. Although not all the disdrometers have the same length of the data record, the DSD data collection effort is the first of its kind in Italy, and from here onwards, it opens new opportunities in the surface characterization of microphysical properties of precipitation in the perspective of climate records. The GID database can be downloaded here https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6875801 (Adirosi et al., 2022).

意大利disdrometer网络数据库

摘要。2021 年，由 7 个意大利机构组成的小组决定将其用于测量大气降水液滴尺寸分布 (DSD) 的专业知识、经验和仪器汇集在一起​​，从而诞生了意大利 Disdrometry 小组（意大利语名称为：Gruppo Italiano Disdrometria , GID, https://www.gid-net.it/)。GID 已经免费提供了一个数据库，该数据库包含由意大利半岛的 disdrometer 网络收集的 1 分钟 DSD 记录。在撰写本文时，disdrometer 网络由 8 台激光 disdrometer 组成，分别属于 6 个不同的意大利机构（包括研究中心、大学和环境区域机构）。这项工作旨在以 GID 中定义的统一标准格式记录意大利 DSD 数据库的技术方面，该数据库由 2012 年至 2021 年的 1 分钟采样数据组成。虽然并非所有的降水计都具有相同的数据记录长度，但 DSD 数据收集工作在意大利尚属首次，从这里开始，它为降水微物理特性的表面表征开辟了新的机会。气候记录。GID 数据库可以在这里下载 https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6875801 (Adirosi et al., 2022)。
