The Optical Disdrometer (ODM), manufactured by Eigenbrodt, is an in-situ optical sensor that measures precipitation occurrence, intensity, and accumulation for rain, snow, and mixed-phase precipitation using minute-based particle size distributions. It is designed for shipboard use in high and variable wind conditions. ODM uses an infrared (880 nm) light-emitting diode to illuminate the measuring volume and can detect hydrometeors ranging from 0.1 to 22 mm in size, classifying them into 128 size bins. It operates fully automatically and requires minimal maintenance.
