Abstract: While the temperature at which ice is in equilibrium with a solution (equilibrium freezing point of the solution) is invariably lower than the corresponding value for pure water, in actual experiments in which the temperature ...

Abstract: A theoretical model has been formulated to study by numerical techniques the efficiency E with which columnar ice crystals grown at temperatures between ?3 and ?8°C are captured in a cloud by relatively large, supercooled ...

Abstract: Natural and artificial snowflakes have been rimed both in free fall and while suspended on a thin flexible fiber in the UCLA cloud tunnel. The results of these experiments show that during the early stage of riming, the ...

Abstract: The effects of porosity on the accretional growth characteristics of ice crystal aggregates (snowflakes) are investigated by riming circular disks of ice in a cloud tunnel. Twelve disk models were used, sized 5 to 6 mm and ...
