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..

Control of cloud droplet concentration in marine stratocumulus clouds. What is precipitation?. 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.. Learning objectives. Be able to estimate area average precipitation from point measurements using a variety of methods. Estimate design rainfall amounts and intensities.

Water vapor in the atmosphere is visible as clouds and fog. . Water vapor collects with other materials, such as dust, in clouds.
