¥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!
