Abstract
A technique for characterizing precipitation includes receiving an impedance signal that is indicative of the impedance in a predetermined area on a measurement surface, deriving, on basis of the impedance signal, a first precipitation rate that is descriptive of accumulated mass of precipitation particles falling on the predetermined area during a calculation period, receiving an acoustic signal that is indicative of acoustic impacts caused by the precipitation particles in vicinity of the measurement surface, deriving, on basis of the acoustic signal, a second precipitation rate that is descriptive of accumulated mass of the precipitation particles during the calculation period, and designating, in response to receiving an indication regarding a presence of precipitation, current precipitation type as one of predetermined precipitation types at least in part on basis of a first precipitation indicator value derived on basis of the first and second precipitation rates.
