| Abstract | ||
| Clouds plays an important role in the water cycle and atmosphere then in the Earth's climate system. Therefore it is very important to understand their physical and dynamical properties. In this research a simple single drop model was developed to investigate the role of certain parameters in the formation process of rain drops. The results showed stronger updraft causes higher and longer cloud drop trajectories and therefore higher terminal speeds and larger cloud drops. The results indicated that small initial cloud droplets grow faster than larger droplets and producing larger raindrops. It was also found that large liquid water content provides more water and therefore cloud droplets grow faster and larger in a relatively shorter time. | ||
