Abstract. The intensity and phase of precipitation at the ground surface can have important implications not only for meteorological hydrological situations but also in terms hazards risks. In field, Thies disdrometers are sometimes used to monitor quantity nature with high temporal resolution very low maintenance thus provide valuable information management Here, we evaluate disdrometer respect detection, as well estimation a pre-alpine site Switzerland (1060 m a.s.l.), using weighing gauge...
The snowfall limit has important implications for different hazardous processes associated with prolonged or heavy precipitation such as flash floods, rain-on-snow events and freezing precipitation. To increase preparedness to reduce risk in situations, early warning systems are frequently used monitor predict at temporal spatial scales. However, alpine pre-alpine valleys, the estimation of remains rather challenging. In this study, we characterize uncertainties related lead times based on...
Abstract Rain‐on‐snow (RoS) events have caused severe floods in mountainous catchments the recent past. Challenges forecasting such are uncertainties meteorological input variables, accurate estimation of snow cover and deficits process understanding during runoff formation. Here, we evaluate potential European Centre for Medium‐Range Weather Forecasts Integrated Forecasting System (ECMWF IFS) to forecast RoS disposition (i.e., minimum rainfall amounts, initial cover, meltwater contribution)...

Specific comments2.1 Figure 2 has to be improved.The size of 2DVD picture may reduced.
Specific comments3.1 I find that your introduction might benefit from adding further explanations, in particular when it comes to the use of laser disdrometers outside precipitation amounts measurements; e.g.gathering DSD for parameterisation models and retrievals.Typically line 20, you mention "verification dual-pol radars" but is not reduced this, could possibly all different usage (not only Thies) general.Response: You are right.We amended usages.
