Abstract

 The change in the drop-size spectrum , and the liquid water content has been computed for different types of distribution curves. The drop-size distribution was assumed to follow a Gaussian curve, and the change in the spectrum was computed numerically from an equation developed by Schumann. It is shown that the number of large drops in a cloud cannot increase by coalescence, unless the spectrum has a very large range or a sharp peak.
