A Comparison of a Numerical Model and an Approximate Analytical Model of the Growth of SnowflakesSource: Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences:;1980:;Volume( 037 ):;issue: 006::page 1409Author:Leighton, H. G.

Abstract: A comparison is made between the evolution of initially exponential snowflake size distributions growing by deposition and aggregation as calculated with a numerical model and with the approximate analytical model of Passarelli. The agreement between the two models implies that to a good approximation the assumptions of the analytical model are consistent with the additional assumption that the distribution maintains an exponential shape.
