A water drop, like any elastic body, will oscillate when                subjected to a suitable external force, while the resulting                     oscillations are intrinsically interesting, they could be                       essential to understanding the merit and limitations of various                 remote sensing devices employing microwaves, including various                  meteorological radars. The work, largely experimental though                    guided by existing theory, will attempt to examine the                          oscillations of water drops (0.8 to 5 mm diameter) in a                         reasonably realistic though controlled environment and determine                the causes of the observed shapes.
