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 mass‐doubling times for growing precipitation embryos.

## Abstract The collection efficiencies of water drops falling in still air have been recalculated by Hocking and Jonas (1970).

## Abstract Calculations of collision rates between cloud droplets in turbulent air show that this would be an effective precipitation mechanism in cumulus if the r.m.s. turbulent acceleration were about 3 times that due to gravity. An estimated value, based on published records of flights through
