As the collision theory for raindrop and aerosol particle is important in below-cloud scavenging, collision efficiency as a function of raindrop diameter (Dp) and aerosol diameter (dp) is discussed. The scavenging coefficient (SC) under thundercloud is 5 to 6 times higher than those under non-thundercloud when dp is less than 1 μm. Field measurements of aerosol number concentration at bottom and top of Huangshan mountain from June to August of 2011 were used to analyze the variation characteristics of observed and theoretical SCs. The results show that observed SC variation for ultrafine-sized particle is in reasonable agreement with the theoretical one, and the observed SC is 5 to 6 times higher than the theoretical SC. Submicron-sized particle SC is higher under thundercloud than that under non thundercloud. Based on the observations, exponential relationship between the hour-averaged SC and rainfall intensity is derived, in which the correlation coefficient is 0.81.
