Abstract

A description is given of observations made in south‐east Australia of medium and heavy rain falling from clouds which were everywhere warmer than 0Β°C. Detailed observations were made visually from aircraft and these were supplemented by measurements of the radar echo intensities and drop size spectra within the clouds.

The clouds were all deep cumulus and were over or near the sea. Great concentrations of relatively large water drops were observed in the upper levels of the clouds.
