Growth of ice and water particles

• Consider three situations:

• In a hypothetical cloud, let's say that e_s (water) = 5 mb and e_s (ice) = 2 mb

Now, if:

1. the vapor pressure in cloud (e) = 6 mb, will the water and/or ice grow in this cloud? ANSWER

2. the vapor pressure in cloud (e) = 4 mb, will the water and/or ice grow in this cloud? ANSWER

3. the vapor pressure in cloud (e) = 1 mb, will the water and/or ice grow in this cloud? ANSWER
