Abstract
Abstract Giant and ultragiant aerosol particles can play an important role in warm rain initiation. Recent aerosol measurements have established that particles as large as 100 μm are a regular part of the atmospheric aerosol. When ingested in growing clouds, these particles will produce a tail of large drops on the upper end of the cloud-droplet distribution. In a series of numerical computations, this tail of large drops was found to be a significant destabilizing factor which can speed precipitation development.
