## Abstract A simple model of the growth of precipitation particles in cloud systems in which the air flow is known has been used to calculate the growth of hail pellets at a cold front. The calculated pellet sizes and densities, and surface rainfall rates, are consistent with observations. It is s

## Abstract The assumption of steady twoβdimensional flow imposes constraints on the motion of a layer of cold air propagating through a body of warm air. Some general properties, such as the propagation speed of the front, can be deduced from consideration of the equations of motion away from the
## Abstract In this paper we consider 15 cases of line convection at anaβcold fronts which have been observed by radar. Although line convection can be a simple twoβdimensional feature, it is usually broken up into line elements having lengths from a few to many tens of kilometres separated by some
## Abstract This paper investigates the interactions between precipitation and the circulation in an idealized model for the tropical atmosphere where convection is represented by a quasiβequilibrium closure. When studying largeβscale circulation in the Tropics, the governing equations can be furth
