Abstract
Precipitation is usually classified as convec-
tive or stratiform. Convective precipitation
is normally associated with cumulus and
cumulonimbus clouds within which a sig-
nificant vertical velocity keeps the cloud
droplets inside the cloud, enhancing their
growth until the vertical currents are not
able to counteract the force of gravity any
longer and precipitation is produced.
Stratiform precipitation is produced mainly
by nimbostratus and sometimes by strato-
cumulus/altocumulus. In these clouds the
vertical velocity is lower than inside the con-
vective clouds, and it cannot prevent cloud
droplets from falling earlier. The result is a
smaller raindrop in these clouds (Houze,
1993).
