As mentioned in the historical review of Chapter 1, it has been known for over 150 years that only cooling by expansion of humid air during its ascent can provide clouds with sufficient condensed water to account for the observed amounts of precipitation. It is our main purpose in this chapter to describe the essentials of this thermodynamic cooling process. We shall also touch briefiy upon isobaric processes.
