Niederschlagsabkühlung
Niederschlagsabkühlung, also known as precipitation cooling, is a meteorological phenomenon that describes the cooling of the air due to the evaporation of falling precipitation. As raindrops or snowflakes descend through the atmosphere, they encounter air that is typically warmer and drier than the precipitation itself. This temperature difference causes some of the precipitation to evaporate. The process of evaporation requires energy, which is drawn from the surrounding air in the form of heat. Consequently, the air loses heat and its temperature decreases.
The extent of Niederschlagsabkühlung depends on several factors, including the initial temperature and humidity of the
In contrast, if the atmosphere is already saturated with moisture, little to no evaporation will occur, and
