Abstract: The crystal fabric of ice formed by the freezing of supercooled water was examined in polarized light. Drops of radius 0.1 cm were frozen by homogeneous nucleation at ?33C, by various foreign particles in suspension, or ...

Abstract: The temperature dependence of the habit of ice crystals growing in a water vapor diffusion chamber is related to the growth rate of ice crystals in a supercooled cloud. The rates of growth occurring between ?4 and ?6C as ...

Abstract: Airborne measurements of cloud liquid water content derived from a formvar replicator, a Johnson-Williams probe and a forward scattering spectrometer probe (FSSP) are compared. These show that in the presence of ice crystals ...

Abstract: Observations of the type and distribution 0°C isotherm in three Atlantic hurricanes are presented. Supercooled drops, graupel, columns and aggregated snowflakes were observed. The supercooled drops were found only in ...

Abstract: The production of ice crystals as a result of the expansion and cooling of moist air was investigated by laboratory experiment. In particular, the warmest expanded air temperature that produces crystals was sought as a ...

Abstract: Nucleation of individual ice crystals on large (3.0 mm) cleaved crystals of solution-grown silver iodide and covellite is investigated by microscopy. The environmental vapor pressure is controlled by saturating two air ...

Abstract: Melting, freezing, and evaporation of individual and aggregates of snow crystals are simulated in the laboratory under controlled temperature, relative humidity, and air velocity. Crystals of selected habit are grown on a ...

Abstract: Laboratory studies of rime growth on a moving rod under conditions of secondary ice crystal production show that the rod acquires a positive charge, equivalent to charge associated with each ejected particle of 5 ? 10?4C. ...

Abstract: Ice crystals grow from the vapor in the presence of Eastman9 10 cement (containing methyl 2-cyanoacrylate monomer) in the form of fine fibres a few microns in diameter, in the c axis direction of the nucleating crystal. A ...

Abstract: Investigations of the structure and organization of synoptic-scale storms over the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range during two successive winters (1971?73) were made with a modified B-26 aircraft. Measurements of liquid water ...
