The NIO TCs observed at the coastal station showed more mid- and large-size drops (&gt;1 mm) than the inland station. On the other hand, for both inland and coastal stations, small and mid-size drops (&lt;3 mm) primarily contributed to the total number concentration and rainfall rate. The RSDs of the NIO TCs segregated into precipitation types (stratiform and convective) demonstrated the presence of more mid- and large-size drops at the coastal station. The RSD relations of the NIO TCs, which are used in rain retrieval algorithms of remote sensing (global precipitation measurement) radars, exhibited contrasts between the coastal and inland station. Further, the NIO TCs\u2019 rainfall kinetic energy relations, which are crucial in rainfall erosivity studies, estimated for the coastal station revealed dissimilar characteristics to that of the inland station. The conceivable thermo-dynamical and microphysical processes that are accountable for the disparities in the NIO TCs RSDs measured at the coastal and inland stations are also elucidated in this work.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs13163178","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,11]],"date-time":"2021-08-11T08:35:52Z","timestamp":1628670952000},"page":"3178","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":29,"title":["Raindrop Size Distributions of North Indian Ocean Tropical Cyclones Observed at the Coastal and Inland Stations in South India"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Balaji Kumar","family":"Seela","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Atmospheric Sciences, Institute of Atmospheric Physics, National Central University, Zhongli District, Taoyuan City 320317, Taiwan"}]},{"given":"Jayalakshmi","family":"Janapati","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Atmospheric Sciences, Institute of Atmospheric Physics, National Central University, Zhongli District, Taoyuan City 320317, Taiwan"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3902-1768","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chirikandath","family":"Kalath Unnikrishnan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Centre for Earth Science Studies, ESSO-MoES, Government of India, Akkulam, Thiruvananthapuram 695 011, India"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2370-7554","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pay-Liam","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Atmospheric Sciences, Institute of Atmospheric Physics, National Central University, Zhongli District, Taoyuan City 320317, Taiwan"},{"name":"Earthquake-Disaster & Risk Evaluation and Management Center, National Central University, Zhongli District, Taoyuan City 320317, Taiwan"},{"name":"Research Center for Hazard Mitigation and Prevention, National Central University, Zhongli District, Taoyuan City 320317, Taiwan"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6739-6263","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jui","family":"Le Loh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Atmospheric Sciences, Institute of Atmospheric Physics, National Central University, Zhongli District, Taoyuan City 320317, Taiwan"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3607-0775","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wei-Yu","family":"Chang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Atmospheric Sciences, Institute of Atmospheric Physics, National Central University, Zhongli District, Taoyuan City 320317, Taiwan"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8703-2827","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Utpal","family":"Kumar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Earth Sciences, Academia Sinica, Taipei 11529, Taiwan"}]},{"given":"K.
