NEW PHYSICS - SUPERTERMINAL RAINDROPS BREAK SPEED LIMIT Many raindrops travel at super-terminal velocities, faster than was thought possible. As a result, meteorologists may be miscalculating how much it rains. Previously, it was assumed that all raindrops fall at terminal velocity, a constant maximum speed that is determined by the interplay of gravity and drag. The velocity for individual drops is considered to be largely controlled by their size: larger drops fall faster than smaller drops, due to their greater mass. FB Page Editor: More basic assumptions up-ended. We predict there will be a lot more in 2015 and beyond.
