Abstract: The growth of cloud droplets by condensation and coalescence in a strong updraft is investigated for different cloud conditions and different initial droplet distributions. Growth by coalescence is determined by solving ...

Abstract: During a 7-week period in the winter of 1986, a six-channel ground-based microwave radiometer was operated at a site near Halifax, Nova Scotia, as part of the Canadian Atlantic Storms Program. One of the quantities measured ...
