Coalescence and/or the Bergeron process are necessary in order for precipitation to occur. Coalescence is the process by which small cloud droplets combine with each other to form larger droplets that can eventually fall as precipitation. The Bergeron process, also known as the ice crystal process, is the process by which ice crystals in a cloud grow at the expense of liquid droplets in the presence of sub-freezing temperatures. Both of these processes are necessary for precipitation to form.
