A study of the evolution of raindrop spectra (raindrop size distribution,DSD) between cloud base and the ground surface was conducted using a columnmodel of stochastic coalescense-breakup dynamics. Numerical results showthat, under steady-state boundary conditions (i.e. constant rainfall rateand DSD at the top of the rainshaft), the equilibrium DSD is achieved onlyfor high rain rates produced by midlevel or higher clouds and after longsimulation times (~30 min or greater). Because these conditions arenot typical of most rainfall, the results suggest that the theoreticalequilibrium DSD might not be attainable for the duration of individual rainevents, and thus DSD observations from field experiments should be analyzedconditional on the specific storm environment under which they wereobtained
