¥Updraft
velocity and raindrop size
¥ Modulates time a raindrop suspended in cloud
¥Ice
Crystal Process
¥ SVP over ice is less than over SC water droplets
¥Accretion-Splintering-Aggregation
¥ Accretion-supercooled droplets freeze on contact with ice crystals
¥ Splintering-big ice crystals fragment into many smaller ones
¥ Aggregation-ice crystals adhere on snowflakes, which upon melting, become raindrops!
