DOI: CLOUD DROPLET CHARACTERISTICS: EXPLORING VARIATIONS AND IMPLICATIONS THROUGH COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS
Shashank Singh , Department of Research and PG studies in Science, Vidyabharati Mahavidyalaya, Amravati, IndiaAbstract
This study presents a comparative analysis of cloud droplet characteristics, aiming to explore variations and implications across different cloud types and environmental conditions. By synthesizing data from various observational and experimental studies, the research investigates factors influencing cloud droplet size distribution, concentration, and composition. Through comparative analysis, the study highlights differences in cloud droplet characteristics between stratiform and convective clouds, as well as variations in response to meteorological parameters such as temperature, humidity, and aerosol concentrations. The findings shed light on the complex interplay between cloud microphysics, atmospheric dynamics, and environmental factors, providing insights into the role of cloud droplet characteristics in cloud formation, precipitation processes, and climate regulation.
