Popis:	In the development of raindrops from cloud droplets in warm rain, the collision-coalescence process is considered to be the main growth mechanism for droplets of unequal size greater than 20 μm in diameter. However, due to the wake effect, the possibility of equal-sized droplets colliding does exist for some maximum vertical separation of the droplets. An empirical study has been performed which led to the determination of the maximum vertical separation required, as a function of droplet size, for equal-sized droplets to be influenced by the wake effect.
