## Abstract A comparison between theory and observation is made for he problem of veer of wind with height over the sea. Observations made in H.M.ships, notably aircraft carriers, which may be assumed to be at least as accurate as shore based observations are included. Frequency diagrams for the an
## Abstract Wind speeds were measured over the sea at five heights up to 8 m. Though the fetch was limited, the wind profiles obtained are considered representative of flow over the sea. The wind speed varies logarithmically with height when the temperature gradient is small. Assuming that laborat
## 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
