ATS 351 Lab 7Precipitation March 7, 2006 Droplet Growth by Collision and Coalescence Growth by condensation alone takes too long Occurs in clouds with tops warmer than 5°F (-15°C)? Greater the speed of the falling droplet, the more air molecules the drop encounters Important factors for droplet growth High liquid water content within the cloud Strong and consistent updrafts Large range of cloud droplet sizes Thick cloud Collision and Coalescence Droplet Growth by the Bergeron process Cold clouds Homogeneous nucleation of ice Vapor deposition Accretion Aggregation Homogeneous nucleation of
