Abstract: ow liquid water content (LWC) and temperature affect the growth of branched planar snow crystals is poorly understood. To address this issue, a vertical supercooled cloud tunnel was used to grow 167 individual snow crystals ...

Abstract: Embryos in natural graupel particles were studied with a setereomicroscope by carefully disassembling samples gathered at two locations globally apart. For the majority of graupel particle clearly identifiable embryos did ...

Abstract: Use of common plastics, i.e., polystyrene, Plexiglas (polymethyl methacrylate) and Lexan (polycarbonate), was investigated for ice crystal replication. The results suggest that all common plastics tested are usable for ice ...

Abstract: Measurements of ice crystal growth under free fall in a generation of vertical supercooled cloud tunnels and some static cloud chambers as well as the related theoretical works are summarized. Growth parameters, that is, ...

Abstract: A vertical wind tunnel using an artificially generated supercooled cloud was constructed to study snowfall processes. It is 18 m high and operates to a temperature as low as ?25°C. Ultrasonic atomizers supply the supercooled ...
