| Zusammenfassung |
| A numerical cloud model is used to study the influence of aerosol on the
microphysics and dynamics of moderate-sized, coastal, convective clouds that
develop under the same meteorological conditions. The results show that
polluted convective clouds start their precipitation later and precipitate
less than clean clouds but produce larger rain drops. The evaporation
process is more significant at the margins of the polluted clouds (compared
to the clean cloud) due to a higher drop surface area to volume ratio and it
is mostly from small drops. It was found that the formation of larger
raindrops in the polluted cloud is due to a more efficient collection
process. |
