## Abstract Droplet size distributions (DSDs) measured within a distance of approximately 1 km above the base of shallow maritime cumulus clouds during the Rain in Cumulus over the Ocean (RICO) field campaign are compared with results of a condensation and stochastic coalescence model, run in the f

## Abstract Lateral entrainment in cumulus clouds is usually assumed to occur continuously as a cloud parcel rises. Computations of the droplet distribution using that assumption are compared with those in which entrainment occurs intermittently, and little difference is found. The width of the dro
## Abstract The rate of growth of cloud droplets round a salt nucleus is examined and it is shown that, with nuclei of the size quoted in published measurements, the drop radius achieved in the period before the droplet is carried out of the cloud layer by turbulent diffusion is in reasonable accor
## 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.
