Precipitation : DGCA Aviation Meteorology questions
Cloud droplets are too small to reach the ground, so rain needs a process that grows them roughly a million times in volume. These questions pair those processes with where and when rain falls across India.
The 20 questions split between the theories of rain formation and the spread of rainfall: rain shadows, cloudbursts, flash floods, the wettest season in each region and artificial rain making. DGCA sessions have included 12 from this chapter.
Coalescence explains rain from warm clouds whose tops stay below the freezing level, and the ice crystal process explains rain from cold clouds that reach above it. A rain shadow lies on the leeward side of a range.
