Short summary
This study explores the microphysical properties of global precipitation systems (PS) which are objectively classified into eight types. Results show that these PSs exhibit significant discrepancies in climatic features, such as the temporal-spatial distributions, microphysical processes etc. Typically, continental PSs has larger particle diameter and lower concentration than oceanic PSs. These findings improve our understanding of global diversity in precipitation microphysical features.
