More Details: Through the observation and study of the raindrop spectrum, we can not only explore the evolution law of precipitation but also understand the microphysical characteristics of different types of precipitation clouds. This paper uses the raindrop spectrum data observed at Naqu Station, Yushu Station, Linzhi Station, and Emei Mount Station, as well as cloud radar data in the Yushu region in the Tibetan Plateau. Raindrop spectral characteristics are studied, and the raindrop size distribution (DSD) characteristics of the four stations are analyzed. The results are as follows: (1) The overall raindrop spectral concentration of the four stations decreases with the increase in particle size after the peak value. The downtrend is most gentle at the peak. (2) All rain intensity levels show the characteristics of multiple vertices. At Linzhi Station, Naqu Station and Yushu Station, the particles with a diameter of
