## 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 Equations are developed to represent the rate of change of the number of drops of a given size in a cloud owing to condensation and to coalescence respectively. Numerical computation from these equations shows that condensation has a much greater effect than coalescence on dropβsize dis
## 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.
