  2. Rime ice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rime_ice

    Rime ice also forms when ice forms on the surface of an aircraft, particularly on the leading edges and control surfaces when it flies through a cloud made of supercooled water liquid droplets. Rime ice is the least dense, milky ice is intermediately dense and clear ice is the most dense. All forms of ice can spoil lift and may have a ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icing_(aeronautics)

    Rime ice is rough and opaque, formed by supercooled drops rapidly freezing on impact. Forming mostly along an airfoil 's stagnation point , it generally conforms to the shape of the airfoil. Mixed ice is a combination of clear and rime ice, having both properties.

  4. Frost - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frost

    Rime is a type of ice deposition that occurs quickly, often under heavily humid and windy conditions. [8] Technically speaking, it is not a type of frost, since usually supercooled water drops are involved, in contrast to the formation of hoar frost, in which water vapour desublimates slowly and directly.

  6. Rime - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rime

    Rime may refer to: Rime ice, ice that forms when water droplets in fog freeze to the outer surfaces of objects, such as trees. Rime is also an alternative spelling of "rhyme" as a noun: Syllable rime, term used in the study of phonology in linguistics; Rime dictionary, type of ancient Chinese dictionary used for writing poetry

    Ice formations come in many different shapes, including pancake ice, rime ice, ice rings, ice disks, turquoise ice, sea-spray ice, ice spikes, ice donuts, ice pushes, ice bells and chandelier ice.

  8. Atmospheric icing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_icing

    Ice loads are a major cause of catastrophic failures of overhead electrical power lines, as power lines can break under the sheer weight of accumulated ice. Therefore, estimation of maximum potential ice load is crucial in the structural design of power line systems to withstand ice loads, [ 4 ] and this can be done with numerical icing models ...

  9. Graupel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graupel

    Graupel (/ ˈ ɡ r aʊ p əl /; German: [ˈɡʁaʊpl̩] ⓘ), also called soft hail or snow pellets, [1] is precipitation that forms when supercooled water droplets in air are collected and freeze on falling snowflakes, forming 2–5 mm (0.08–0.20 in) balls of crisp, opaque rime. [2] Graupel is distinct from hail and ice pellets in
