Abstract
It is proposed that certain characteristic stratifications accompany cumulus and cumulonimbus, and on the basis of a thermal theory characteristic magnitudes are estimated for the properties of their updraughts, and the size which must be attained by cumulus before showers form and their transformation into cumulonimbus occurs.
