Abstract

The effect of turbulence on the development of the distribution of droplets growing by condensation in a cumulus cloud is investigated. Both small scale and large scale turbulence are shown to produce some broadening of the distribution. Turbulence with high vertical coherence is found to generate a bimodal distribution for which the dispersion increases with height above cloud base while the mean radius increases slowly.

## 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 effect of radiative heat transfer on droplet growth is assessed. It is estimated that radiative cooling is the principal agent of droplet growth in radiation fog, and that supersaturations are very small – slight undersaturation may even occur – and may be relatively unimportant for
