Abstract
A simple model is proposed that enables a prediction to be made of precipitation patterns and vertical velocities from single‐station serial ascents. Micro physical processes are parametrized by dividing the liquid water generated by the model into cloud and rain water. The ice phase is not explicitly modelled. Rainfall is predicted reasonably well when the cloud cover is extensive and convection is not dominant. Calculations show that the precipitation developed by the model is not strongly dependent on changes in the microphysical parametrization.
