Abstract
The application of Wilson's process of ion capture by falling drops is extended to the case of ice particles, and it is shown how the results differ from those with water drops. Although ice particles in clouds can operate in Wilson's process, arguments are given against this being the agency by which the separation of charge occurs in clouds.

## Abstract A model of cumulusβcloud structure is described, and used, together with the available evidence on the temperatures of iceβcrystal formation and a calculation of the speed of growth of crystals into precipitation elements, to estimate the summitβlevel temperatures at which the formation
