Cool Droplets. In Scientific American, Cloud Physicist B. J. Mason of London's Imperial College of Science and Technology tells of experiments made to determine why some clouds give rain while others float high in the air until they evaporate. When he carefully cooled small droplets of very pure water, they did not turn to ice until the temperature fell below - 42° F. This proved, as had been suspected, that ice crystals seldom, if ever, form in moderately cold clouds unless some solid nucleus is present to start the process...
