Abstract: The electrification accompanying the breakup of large drops falling in air in the absence of an electric field has been studied. A closed circuit vertical tunnel has been used, and the chemical composition of the drops has ...

Abstract: Droplets in the size range of 40 to 120 µm diameter were accelerated in a small wind tunnel and accreted onto an ice target connected to an electrometer that measured the charging effect. The experiments were performed ...

Abstract: The influence of eddies on crystal orientation has been examined. Extrapolation of experimental determinations of the power spectrum of eddies in turbulent clouds indicates that turbulence is unable to destroy the preferred ...

Abstract: Drops in the size range 1.2 to 1.9 mm were frozen while floating in a nitrogen stream. Frequency of split-ting and cracking was found to be 80?90% when the gas was dry and 57% when it was saturated with water vapor. During ...

Abstract: The freezing characteristics of supercooled droplets of electrolytic solutions were studied for a set of 22 electrolytes and for concentrations of 10?2, 10?2 and 10?1 N. Ethyl alcohol was also tested. The freezing curves ...
