Abstract: On the basis of soundings made in convective situations it is concluded that the model of a thermal which predicts a linear growth by entrainment of surrounding air is often incapable of explaining the observations. A ...

Abstract: The concentration of cloud droplets in natural cloud has been found to be fully consistent with existing theory and with observations of cloud nuclei and updraft speed. In general, turbulence in the updraft does not broaden ...

Abstract: From the examination of a large number of droplet samples in cumulus clouds it is found that many droplet-size distributions have neither positive skewness nor a single mode. Bimodal distributions increase in frequency ...

Abstract: An examination of 60 years of rainfall during three months of the cane-harvesting season has shown a reduction of rainfall at inland stations coinciding with increasing cane production; no such reduction occurred at a ...

Abstract: Observations of the droplet size distribution at fixed levels in cumulus cloud for periods ranging from 13?44 min indicate that there is little change with time in the shape of the distribution or in the mean droplet ...

Abstract: A critical examination is undertaken of current steady-state one-dimensional cloud models which postulate lateral entrainment. It is found that such models cannot simultaneously predict values of liquid water content and ...

Abstract: Calculations have been made of the effect on the droplet size distribution of mixing between a cloudy parcel and its clear air environment, with attention being concentrated on the first few hundred meters above cloud base ...
