The Formation of Raindrops in Cumulus Clouds

Blyth/摘要 本研究的目的是探讨积云中雨滴的形成。 将使用以前几次实地实验的现有观测数据。 在佛罗里达（1995年7月至8月）部署的一个新的现场实验（SCMS）中提出了额外的测量。这项研究的结果将提供一个更好的了解的时间长度和云滴的大小参与生产雨滴在积云，最大的云滴是如何形成的，以及如何夹带和混合影响云滴。

Blyth/Abstract The objective of this research is to investigate the formation of raindrops in cumulus clouds. Existing observational data from several previous field experiments will be used. Additional measurements are proposed in a new field experiment (SCMS) to be deployed in Florida (July-August, 1995). The results of this research will provide a better understanding of the length of time and the sizes of cloud droplets involved in producing raindrops in cumulus clouds, how the largest cloud droplets are formed, and how entrainment and mixing influences the cloud droplets.
