Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Recently, a report was published in the scientific literature about an observation of the spatially organized structure of water drops in a drop cluster, an object related to aquatic aerosols [1]. The drop cluster was an organized one layer hexagonal drop structure that appears in the air over a locally heated water sur face to a temperature of 60100C. The diameter of the drops, the interdrop distance, and the levitation height of the drops over the water surface were compa rable in their values being equal to a few tens of microns. A supposition was put forward and numerically justified in that organized drop structures similar to the drop clusters can also exist in atmo spheric clouds and fogs. These structures can increase the viscosity of the medium, control convection, and influence the rate of heat and mass transport. How ever, no direct experimental confirmation of the exist ence of drop organization in clouds and fogs has been obtained so far.
