Broadening of cloud droplet size distributions and warm rain initiation associated with turbulence: an overview

In the study of warm clouds, there are many outstanding questions. Cloud droplet size distributions are much wider, and warm rain is initiated in a shorter time and with a shallower cloud depth than theoretical expectations. This review summarizes the studies related to the effects of turbulent fluc...
