The conservation and distribution of water substance in atmospheric circulations is considered within a frame of continuity principles, model air flows, and models of microphysical processes. The simplest considerations of precipitation involve its vertical distribution in an updraft column, where condensate appears immediately as precipitation with uniform terminal fallspeed. The study also treats steady two-dimensional air circulations in which time-dependent distributions of water vapor, cloud and precipitation respond to model microphysical processes.
