LWC max observed = 1-3g/m3 ?!

1-3g/m3 seems to make 1-3kg/1km high column x 1 m2, or 10-30kg/10km high column x 1 m2, which is 10-30 liters for a 10km high column x 1 m2, which amounts to 1-3 cm of rain spread over 1 x m2 at the bottom of every 10km high column.

It does not seem to explain how a cloud could unload like 200 liters per sqm in a few hours (without even emptying itself).

1-3g/m3 seems to allow at most 1-3 cm of rain per cloud, provided the cloud is totally used up (the sky wold be blue after the rain, the cloud would be gone)
