Abstract
The prevailing idea so far about why the rainfall occurs was that after agglutination of water droplets with condensation nuclei, the size of the particle formed by the condensation nuclei connected with droplets of water increased considerably and caused its fall. This idea has led to numerous scientific publications in which empirical distribution functions of clouds’ water droplets sizes were proposed. Estimates values provided by these empirical distribution functions, in most cases, were validated by comparison with UHF Radar measurements

"This means that our current description of the clouds is totally wrong."It means they're thinking. Yay!
I wish the authors all the best luck with their new description.
I don’t know that I “buy” the premise that tiny water particles cannot stay suspended in the air almost indefinitely. Smoke is composed of particles that are heavier than air, and yet it can travel thousands of miles by air. Certainly very small water droplets can be elevated and / or carried long distances by very slight updrafts, and moved around even by electrical charges.
Does this author understand the physics of very large surface area to mass ratios? The comparison of emptying a bottle of water into the air is, well, ludicrous.
Nonetheless, the idea that many clouds are mainly composed of dry air mixed with (microscopic “bubbles” of?) saturated water vapor may be correct.

Later
I recall hearing early in the climate crisis before it became hyper-political, that the computer models lack the the ability to predict clouds and cloud cover, which dramatically skews the models.
How many h2o molecules does it take to make a droplet?
drop?
“I absolutely LOVE it when a scientist can make a statement like:
“This means that our current description of the clouds is totally wrong.”
It means they’re thinking. Yay!”
YES, this is what science looks like. “Ya know, you think it happens because of X. I can prove that it happens because of Y. Watch ...”
