Claim 12:
13. A method for collecting water from an aerosol containing atmosphere comprising:
elevating an atmospheric aerosol coalescer (AAC) array support structure comprising a plurality of AACs arranged in an array with an aerostat, each AAC including
a body having a conical shape and including
a top portion,
a bottom portion,
a front end,
a rear end,
a helical collecting ridge extending from the front end to the rear end, and
an interior surface having a first inner diameter corresponding to a base of the interior surface and a second inner diameter corresponding the helical collecting ridge, wherein the second inner diameter is greater than the first inner diameter,

a drain extending from the front end to the rear end along the bottom portion of the body at the second diameter configured to collect liquid from the helical collecting ridge, and
a drain spout at a rear end of the drain;
collecting coalesced water generated by the plurality of AACs into a main drain;
directing the water from the main drain to a water collection reservoir.
