## Abstract The model of the development of the droplet spectrum in cumulus clouds described by Mason and Jonas (1974) has been used to calculate the spectrum in penetrating downdraughts and the changes which occur when a region of dry air resulting from such a downdraught is subsequently forced to

## Abstract The paper describes calculations of the development of dropletβsize spectra in cumulus clouds under the combined effects of condensation and coalescence. It is demonstrated that the concentration of condensation nuclei is a more important factor in controlling the onset of precipitation
## Abstract The paper describes a relatively simple model of a nonβprecipitating cumulus cloud that grows by the ascent of successive spherical thermals through the residues of their predecessors, mixing with the surroundings being determined by the relative velocity and the radius of the thermal.
