Short summary
Many theories speculate drop clustering is an important facet of precipitation initiation. This study evaluates the relationship between drop size and drop clustering surrounding the individual drops. Large drops are generally isolated from neighboring drops, particularly in subsaturated environments. Samples capturing this trend also have the broadest drop size distributions and largest drops, suggesting the importance of entrainment-mixing to precipitation initiation.
