Hey all -
I tried to put together some information for this article. There are all kinds of ways this can be expanded, so feel free to help me out. Maybe someone could talk about:
Detection equipment (plane-mounted and satellite) Snow formation Extreme weather phenomena Better treatemnt of classification section from a physics view
And if anyone can add any real physics/math to this, it would really help the article along.
If you have any thoughts, put them down and maybe we can get this up to an A+ article! AndyHuston 00:42, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I've added a little, and removed the parts about "air holding water" or "air being saturated". The presence or absence of air or other gases does not affect the saturation vapor pressure, relative humidity or anything else about waters evaporation and condensation. I'll add more as time allows. Also, I checked the link given regarding supersatuation of 120% being common, which is not what I've read elsewhere, but didn't find any mention of 120% supersaturation there so I deleted that as well.

A link to that article would be nice here. Either from cumulonimbus or as "Also see".76.97.245.5 (talk) 07:14, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
This is all a bit dubious. Many large-scale clouds have essentially no updrafts William M. Connolley (talk) 22:17, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
In the cloud literature I checked, surface tension is not even mentioned in relation to supercooling. Supercooling is due to lack of freezing nuclei and can be obtained even for bulk water e.g. in a large, very clean tank. In clouds, droplets are usually just clean enough not to freeze at 0°C, independent of surface tension (however, large size increases the probability of a freezing nucleus present in the droplet). --129.13.156.135 (talk) 09:59, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
