Q. Why are cloud droplets larger over the ocean?
5
Most collide on forward edge Some collide on backside Terminal velocity: Almost 10 m/s for largest raindrops
6
Q. Why can a cumuliform cloud produce heavier precipitation than a stratiform cloud?
7
Supercooled water droplets
8
Ice forms directly on ice nuclei Promote freezing of supercooled droplets (contact nuclei)
9
Higher saturation vapour pressure Ice crystals grow at the expense of water droplets
10
Riming causes snow pellets (graupel) -supercooled droplets freeze on contact Snowflakes form through aggregation
