Figure 2. Maximum vertical splash height achieved in still air in Rothamsted rain-tower against horizontal distance from infected orange for single incident drops of three sizes: 2.5 (circle), 3.5 (square) and 5 (triangle) mm.

Symbols: individual observations (open), observed means (solid grey), predictions from linear-by-quadratic surface model at observed distances (solid black). Observations and observed means are shifted right by one and two units of distance, respectively, for clarity. Vertical bars represent ± SE.
