Modeling studies (Lovett, 1984 Lovett and Reiners, 1986 Mueller, 1990) have suggested that cloud droplet removal rate depends critically on characteristics of the forest canopy. Mueller (1990) calculated that cloud water deposition at the edge of a forest was four to five times greater than in a closed forest. The cloud LWC and the size distribution of cloud droplets (especially the concentration of large droplets) also influence significantly the overall wet deposition rate.
