• Simulations of Polarimetric Radar Signatures of a Supercell Storm Using a Two-Moment Bulk Microphysics Scheme (2010, background): “The rain evaporation is likely another contributing factor modifying the DSD toward a large Dnr because it selectively depletes small drops more quickly than larger drops (Rosenfeld and Ulbrich 2003).”
