## 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 The paper describes calculations of the development of dropletβsize spectra in cumulus clouds under the combined effects of condensation and coalescence. It is demonstrated that the concentration of condensation nuclei is a more important factor in controlling the onset of precipitation
