## Abstract The collection efficiencies of water drops falling in still air have been recalculated by Hocking and Jonas (1970). In this paper these revised values have been used to estimate the rate of production of large droplets (__r__ > 30 ΞΌm) by coalescence. It is found that there is an increas

## Abstract The growth of unusually large cloud droplets by coalescence within isolated convective clouds is examined. It is found that if their initial radii are about 20 ΞΌ or more then growth into raindrops may readily occur. Raindrop nuclei of this size may be provided by spray in maritime air m
## Abstract This study examines the microphysical and environmental conditions necessary to support rapid coalescence growth in warm convective clouds. A quantitative threshold for effective coalescence growth can be defined in terms of the massβdoubling times for growing precipitation embryos.
