We’ve studied the water cycle, and last week we focused on the “Condensation”. part. Now, we are going to discuss the precipitation part of the water cycle.. Let’s watch this video on Precipitation!. "Rain Drops Keep Falling on my Head" B.J. Thompson (1969). INTRODUCTION. How much rain do you get in your area?. How about snow?. This amount varies around the world. . For example, people living in Spokane, Washington get much more rain than those in Phoenix, Arizona.. . Photograph: Tony Clarke, VOCALS . REx. flight RF07. Robert Wood.

Water that falls from the sky, it can be in different forms.. Hail, sleet, snow, rain.. Rain. As warm air rises into the atmosphere it cools. The air creates water vapor which condenses and forms into clouds. Once the clouds are big enough and are holding enough water it begins to rain.. . Photograph: Tony Clarke, VOCALS .

Water vapor, droplets of water suspended in the air, builds up in the Earth's atmosphere. . Water vapor in the atmosphere is visible as clouds and fog. . Water vapor collects with other materials, such as dust, in clouds. Precipitation condenses, or forms, around these tiny pieces of material, called cloud condensation nuclei (CCN).. Observations.

This work is supported by NASA PMM #. Acid Precipitation. Acid Precipitation. Acid precipitation. includes all forms of precipitation . (rain, sleet, snow. ). with a high concentration of acids present. . Acid precipitation forms when water vapor and droplets in the atmosphere combine with sulfuric and nitric oxides. This forms sulfuric and nitric acids, which have a lower pH than typical rainfall.. LECTURE 5. PRECIPITATION GAUGE NETWORK. To have an idea of areal distribution of precipitation there should be adequately planned rain gauge network. There are two reasons to plan a network:. Catch area of a precipitation gauge is very small. Artificial rain making.. Process of Precipitation:. Precipitation is caused by condensation of water . vapours. of the air mass. . The ascending air mass with sufficient amount of water . vapours. becomes saturated due to adiabatic cooling. Condensation of water . Mountains Experiment (OLYMPEX). Lynn McMurdie .
