FROZEN DROPS IN THE CLOUDS

FROZEN DROPS IN THE CLOUDS

Different from the commonly accepted viewpoint, laboratory studies showed that frozen drops with diameters greater than 100 mm may grow as spheres during condensational growth. The observation of frozen drops in clouds may be correlated to freezing drizzle and that the results of this study advance...

Zusammenfassung:Different from the commonly accepted viewpoint, laboratory studies showed that frozen drops with diameters greater than 100 mm may grow as spheres during condensational growth. The observation of frozen drops in clouds may be correlated to freezing drizzle and that the results of this study advance the understanding of ice formation mechanisms in clouds.
