## Abstract It is shown that iceβcrystal concentrations of order 10/litre may be produced in clouds limited to the β8Β°C level if growing pellets of soft hail release splinters at the rates recently observed in laboratory experiments by Hallett and Mossop (1974) and provided that these splinters can

## Abstract Analysis of field observations has yielded the conclusion that the HallettβMossop process (HβM) of secondary ice production plays a major role in the glaciation of summertime cumulus clouds over New Mexico. Other studies have revealed that these clouds possess a characteristic multiβthe
## Abstract Lateral entrainment in cumulus clouds is usually assumed to occur continuously as a cloud parcel rises. Computations of the droplet distribution using that assumption are compared with those in which entrainment occurs intermittently, and little difference is found. The width of the dro
