Measurements of the fall‐velocity of water ‐drops and raindrops
Abstract
This paper presents measurements of the velocities of water‐drops of sizes ranging from one to six mm in diameter, falling in still air from heights of 0.5 meter to 20 meters. A few measurements of raindrop velocities are also reported. The measurements were undertaken to assist in an understanding of the action of rain, both real and artificial, in eroding soil. The drop‐sizes of rains have also been measured and will be reported separately. All of these studies were carried out at the Hydraulic Laboratory of the National Bureau of Standards as a part of the work of the Soil Conservation Service.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
