## Abstract Cloud particles of diameters greater than about 100 μ can be sampled from an aircraft by exposing within the cloud a thin aluminium‐foil surface to the airstream and counting and sizing the indentations made on it. A series of flights has been made through cumulus clouds using this tech

## Abstract In a fair‐weather cumulus, the largest droplets, which are of 18 microns radius, grow too slowly by differential settling to become precipitation (although the time to reach raindrop size from 50 μ, for instance, would be comparatively short). Even at 18 μ their terminal speed is suffic

## Abstract The existence of a subsiding shell around cumulus clouds has been observed before in several aircraft measurement campaigns. Recent results from large‐eddy simulations (LES) showed that the downward mass flux through the shell compensates for a significant fraction of the upward mass fl
