A liquid-water particle suspended in a cloud. Number, size distribution and liquid-water content are separate properties; increasing number at fixed total water shifts the characteristic radius downward.
Growth of liquid cloud droplets by collisions followed by merging. Differences in droplet fall speeds and collection efficiency affect the process. Increasing droplet number at fixed liquid-water content can reduce typical sizes and delay drizzle, but cloud mixing and water-content adjustments prevent a universal precipitation response.
