## Abstract Measurements have been made of the charge transfer accompanying the splashing of a supercooled water drop, of raindrop dimensions, onto a simulated hailstone. The important variables were: temperature of drop and hailstone (β4Β°C to β20Β°C); impact velocity (1 to 4ms^β1^); impact paramete
The experiments described in Salles and Poesen (2000) focused on the detachment of soil particles from a bare soil surface by raindrop impact and their subsequent transport by raindrop splash. The selected experimental set-up, i.e. simulated rain and the use of splash cups, allows the measurement of
## Abstract The charges on rain, as measured by Simpson and by Hutchinson and Chalmers, during periods when point discharge occurs, can be accounted for quantitatively on reasonable assumptions in terms of the process of ion capture. The results show that the separation of charge must operate at le
