Precipitation

Executive Summary

Water flows down-gradient, and in the case of precipitation initiated by phase changes and atmospheric cooling it typically flows towards the surface of the earth as gravitational potential overcomes aerodynamic drag (terminal velocity). When it’s frozen, we call that snow.
