Abstract: A new, accurate, efficient method for solving the stochastic collection equation (SCE) is proposed. The SCE is converted to a set of moment equations in categories using a new analytical form of Bleck&'s approach. The ...

Abstract: The evolution of raindrop spectra below cloud base in subsaturated atmospheres is traced with the aid of an axisymmetrical rainshaft model which includes the detailed warm microphysical treatment presented in parts I and ...

Abstract: The evolution of raindrop spectra with altitude through collisional collection/breakup sedimentation and evaporation is presented. Two-moment treatment of sedimentation and evaporation is developed to complement Part I ...
