Abstract

A model of the downdraft from convective clouds has been proposed assuming evaporative cooling as the mechanism responsible for the downward motion. Effects of friction and liquid water content have also been taken into account through suitable parameterization and velocity and temperature of the downdraft at any level have been computed as the mass-weighted mean of contributions from all upper levels.
