Cloud Drop Spectra

Measurements o f clo ud drop ..ire spectra on non-preci pitating cumulus clouds, 1·2 km thick,were made at differe nt levels o ver the Arabian Sea (maritime) and over r une (inland) regio n during the end ofthe summer monsoo n seasons of 1973, 1974 and 1979.The macimurn size of clo ud drops for the. Arabian Sea generally increased with height. while that for run eJiJ not show a systematic change with height. At bot h the local ions. the total concentration o f drops decreasedwith height. The maritime dist ributions were bimodal at all levels while those o..-er Punc were usually unimodal.The average values of liquid water content. mean vo lume diameter. dispersion and conccnt rarion of drops withdiameter > 50 «m were a lin le greater and total concentration a little smaller over the maritime region as ' om'pared to those over inland. The co ncentrations of drops with diameter < 14 ,...m and those > 78 I'm and thema ximum ~ i 7e were greater over Pune than o..er the sea. The ..'a riarions in cloud drop spectra and the clo udphysical parameters over beth the locations are discussed.Kc) words - Cloud drop size spectra, Drop co ncentration,

Function of coprophagous beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae, Geotrupidae, Hydrophilidae) in cattle pastures inferred from pitfall trapping dataAn analysis of data on the dry weight biomass of coprophagous beetles in standardized dung (4.5 l) was conducted in order to characterize the spatial and the seasonal distribution of the beetles' biomass in cattle pastures and to elucidate their function in dung decomposition. Nested Anova with factors of farm, site (nested in farm), seasonal period and year was used to evaluate the effect of these factors on the biomass of four functional species groups: the dung dwellers ofScarabaeidae(subfamilyAphodiinae), the dung dwellers ofHydrophilidae, the small tunnellers ofScarabaeidae(subfamilyCoprinae) and the large tunnellers ofGeotrupidae. The spatial variation of biomass (between the sites and the farms) was insignificant (P>0.05) in the two dung-dweller groups and in the large-tunnellers group. On the other hand, a significant (P<0.05) seasonal variation of biomass was found in all but the large tunneller group. In dung dwellers, the spring biomass was formed mainly by two species,Aphodius prodromusandA. sphacelatus. In summer, most of the biomass was accounted for bySphaeridium lunatum, S. scarabaeoidesandA. rufipes. In the two tunneller groups,Onthophagus fracticornis, Geotrupes stercorariusandG. spinigerformed a majority of the biomass in dung.
