| description abstract | The collision efficiency between plate-like ice crystals and supercooled drops is computed using a modified version of the trajectory model developed by Lew and Pruppacher. It is found that whereas the collision efficiencies are largely independent of drop size within the range 5.3 ? 10?4 ?7.6 ? 10?4 m (530?760 ?m) radius, they are a sensitive function of the ice crystal diameter, within the size range 1 ? 10?5 ?4 ? 10?5 m (10?40 ?m), and also depend on the orientation of the crystal as it encounters the drop. Collision efficiencies for larger crystals are greater than 0.8, and show essentially no orientational dependence. It appears that the mass of the ice crystal plate is the dominant factor affecting the collision efficiency. | |
