## Abstract A method is presented to parametrize the effects of drizzle upon the droplet effective radius in stratocumulus clouds. The cloudβdroplet size distribution in stratocumulus is represented by the sum of a modified Gamma distribution to represent the small (radius <20 ΞΌm) droplets and an e

## 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 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
