Autoconversion in a bulk model represents

  • A.the collection of cloud water by existing rain
  • B.the evaporation of falling rain below the cloud base
  • C.the conversion of liquid cloud water into ice
  • D.the initial conversion of cloud water into rain water

Answer: D

It is the bottleneck term, since accretion cannot proceed until some rain water exists. Its formulation strongly influences how quickly a modelled cloud begins to precipitate and how sensitive that is to aerosol loading.
