An extention of our previous theory for trace gas absorption into freely-falling cloud and raindrops is presented. This theory describes the convective diffusion of a trace gas through air and into a water drop with internal circulation, the drop falling at its terminal velocity. Using flow fields f
For the purpose of testing our previously described theory of SO z scavenging a laboratory investigation was carried out in the UCLA 33 m long rainshaft. Drops with radii between 250 and 2500 ~tm were allowed to come to terminal velocity, after which they passed through a chamber of variable length
Our previously described absorption model for the scavenging of trace gases by individual cloud and rain drops was applied to an ensemble of drops of given size distribution as found in typical atmospheric rainfalls. This study allowed: (1) determination of the redistribution which a pollution plume
Our previously developed theoretical models for describing the rate at which water-soluble atmospheric trace gases are scavenged by cloud and raindrops were evaluated for the case of acetaldehyde being absorbed and desorbed by water drops of radii between 250 to 2500 t~m radius. The experimental ver
