The collision-coalescence model applies to warm clouds that form in the tropics. Warm clouds are those that form at altitudes where the air temperature is above freezing. For precipitation to form under this model, there needs to be a variety of different size condensation nuclei. Large condensation nuclei will create large water droplets while smaller condensation nuclei create small ones. In order for the droplets to make their way to the surface they have to be heavy enough to overcome the resistance imposed by upwardly rising air that is fueling the development of the cloud. The smaller, lighter droplets are easily suspended in the updrafts of air, while the larger heavy collector droplets fall and collide with the smaller ones. Upon collision, the droplets coalesce into a bigger droplet. As the droplet falls, resistance by the air flattens the droplet to the point where it becomes unstable and breaks apart. With enough collisions, the droplet achieves a size sufficient to fall all the way to the surface.

COLLISION THEORY: A SHORT COURSE

by Tbilisi State Univ Republic of Georgia T Kopaleishvili (Author)  

This book gives a systematic description of collision theory within the framework of non-relativistic quantum mechanics. However, the final expressions obtained can also hold for particles with spin and under relativistic conditions. The general theory is formulated for two elementary particles, for the scattering of an elementary particle with a bound system of elementary particles, and for the scattering process for a three-particle system (Faddeev's theory). In addition, the scattering problems are considered using exact and approximation methods.
