moneypitmike Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Hey--here's a really dumb question on my part. One of many. What causes the size of raindrops to differ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianW Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Here comes the water issues. Unprecedented increase in water consumption around here. As a result of the protracted hot and dry weather conditions, and more residents being home due to the COVID-19 pandemic, over the past few days alone, the RWA has seen an unprecedented increase in water use and is urging its customers to use water wisely. This has caused some residents to experience intermittent discolored water. The RWA has also received reports of fire hydrants being opened illegally, we ask that people not open hydrants, as it can be dangerous and contribute to temporarily discolored water.

I always thought it was because they coalesce by colliding with each other making larger drops from small drops and figured it had something to do with the weight of the rain drop and the strength of the updraft (it needs to get big/heavy enough to actually fall to the ground). This high speed camera sequence of a rain drop falling and breaking apart into various sized drops is also interesting. Fragmentation of a 5 millimeters in diameter drop falling by its own weight relative to an ascending stream of air. The overall sequence lasts for 60 milliseconds. This process is responsible for the formation of the raindrops which wet the ground. (Image: © Emmanuel Villermaux) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think for the bolded, he could have just said 'responsible for the splat'. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am staying in Hampton next Wednesday - Saturday. About 2 miles from Hampton Beach. Kinda wish we actually booked a bit closer but oh well. Do you know of any fireworks going in in NH during this window? Looks like the ones on the beach are a no-go b/c of the endangered birdies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GYX was forecast a moderate rainfall and then it just fizzled. We had chances for showers and storms all week and missed every one. When this happens it tends to keep repeating, so I think we need a pattern change for any rain. Now they're pimping Saturday but I kinda don't believe that yet...

When the droplets become too heavy for the updrafts to support them they fall to the ground. Of course in glaciated clouds you start dealing with the bergeron process instead of collision coalescence. So you have a supercooled condensation nuclei and differences in vapor pressure between the ice crystals and water droplets. The ice crystals readily gain H20 from the vapor and grow according to their respective habit at a given temperature and RH...ie snow crystal growth by deposition. That's the majority of how most of our precipitation forms. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
