21 Concluding Remarks MSSG-Bin model with turbulent collision model reveals the importance of turbulent droplet collisions in cloud development. In RICO (shallow Cu) case, turbulent collisions significantly weaken the updraft, consequently decrease turbulence intensity due to quick removal of water lower the cloud height shorten the rain initiation time
