Cumulonimbus Microphysics

Cumulonimbus Microphysics is a subfield of atmospheric science that specifically investigates the physicochemical processes governing the formation, evolution, and interaction of hydrometeors within cumulonimbus clouds, distinguishing it from broader mesoscale or synoptic-scale meteorological phenomena by its focus on microscale particle dynamics and phase transitions under strong convective updrafts.
