Document Summary
Identify the following in the context of this class. The process in which ice crystals join together to form snowflakes. If these snowflakes melt as they fall, they arrive as rain. The primary mechanism for precipitation formation outside the tropics; this process involves the coexistence of ice crystals and supercooled water droplets. Clouds that form behind aircraft (contraction of condensation trails). An attempt to stimulate precipitation by introducing certain materials into existing clouds. A relatively large falling raindrop that collides and coalesces with smaller, slower-moving droplets beneath it. Precipitation growth process where droplets collide and merge into a larger drop. Horizontal motions of air resulting in a net inflow of air (with more air imported than exported). Horizontal motions of air resulting in a net outflow of air (with more air exported than imported). Frictional force experienced by a falling raindrop or other precipitation particle.
