Significantly isolated drops are prevalent in the bottleneck size range of 25-50 µm.
Larger drops tend to be more isolated, likely due to evaporation of smaller droplets.
Holographic analysis captures detailed spatial data of droplets within subtropical maritime clouds.
Findings highlight the role of entrainment in influencing cloud formation and precipitation initiation.

Observations of drop clustering and size distributions indicate how entrainment affects cloud droplet characteristics.

D'Alessandro et al. (2025) studied this question.
