On the Effect of Electric Charges on the Scavenging of Aerosol Particles by Clouds and Small Raindrops
TL;DR: In this paper, a theoretical model is described which determines the efficiency E with which aerosol particles of radius r are collected by water drops of radius a due to the combined action of Brownian diffusion, thermo- and diffusiophoresis and electric forces, in the absence of inertial impaction effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Moisture plumes above thunderstorm anvils and their contributions to cross-tropopause transport of water vapor in midlatitudes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the possibility of water vapor transport from the troposphere to thestratosphere by deep convection using three-dimensional, nonhydrostatic, quasi-compressible simulations of a Midwest severe thunderstorm.

Acceleration to Terminal Velocity of Cloud and Raindrops.
Pao K. Wang,H. R. Pruppacher +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a theoretical method is given which allows computing the acceleration to terminal velocity of cloud and raindrops at various levels in the atmosphere, and for drops of equivalent radius 800 μm ≤ a0 ≤ 3500 μm their theoretical predictions were found to agree well with the results of an experimental study carried out in the UCLA Rain-Shaft.

An Experimental Determination of the Efficiency with Which Aerosol Particles are Collected by Water Drops in Subsaturated Air
Pao K. Wang,Hans R. Pruppacher +1 more
TL;DR: In the absence of electrical effects, it was found that with increasing drop size the collection efficiency decreases to a minimum and then rises again as the collection due to phoretic forces is overcompensated by the collecting due to hydrodynamic forces as mentioned in this paper.
