Abstract
Data are presented from aircraft passes through cumulus clouds studied during a cooperative convective precipitation experiment on the plains of Montana in 1981. It is found that small concentrations of large drops are produced which exceed the size predicted by growth in a closed parcel model. These concentrations are higher in young, rapidly ascending turrets than in older clouds and coalescence-size drops are found in turrets less than ten minutes old. -from Authors
