Free energy of water aerosol plasma was calculated using the Debye–Huckel method. It was established that free energies of droplets, ions and simultaneously of all charged particles had local minima (metastable states) at certain concentrations and charges of particles. The calculation results were confirmed by experimental data taken from the literature on a droplet cluster in water vapor and droplet structures in water fog. The possible connection of metastable states with the phenomenon of drop coalescence and rain formation in real clouds, as well as with the generation of stable spatially arranged drop structures, has been indicated.
