  2. Supercooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercooling

    Supercooling, [1] also known as undercooling, [2] [3] is the process of lowering the temperature of a liquid below its freezing point without it becoming a solid. Per the established international definition, supercooling means ‘cooling a substance below the normal freezing point without solidification’.

  3. Wegener–Bergeron–Findeisen process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wegener–Bergeron...

    The Wegener–Bergeron–Findeisen process (after Alfred Wegener, Tor Bergeron, and Walter Findeisen []), (or "cold-rain process") is a process of ice crystal growth that occurs in mixed phase clouds (containing a mixture of supercooled water and ice) in regions where the ambient vapor pressure falls between the saturation vapor pressure over water and the lower saturation vapor pressure over ice.

  4. Cloud physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_physics

    The surface tension of the water allows the droplet to stay liquid well below its normal freezing point. When this happens, it is now supercooled liquid water. The Bergeron process relies on super cooled liquid water (SLW) interacting with ice nuclei to form larger particles. If there are few ice nuclei compared to the amount of SLW, droplets ...

  5. 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 both ...

  6. Frazil ice - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frazil_ice

    Frazil ice forms in supercooled water which occurs because the surface water loses heat to cooler air above. Suppression is the idea of insulating the surface water with an intact, stable ice cover. The ice cover will prevent heat loss and warm the supercooled water that might have already formed. [11]

  7. Atmospheric icing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_icing

    There are three types of structural icing: rime icing, clear (or glaze) icing, and mixed icing. Rime ice is rough, milky, and opaque. It forms rapidly from small supercooled water droplets and is the most reported icing type. Colder temperatures, lower liquid water content, and small droplets favors the forming of rime icing.

  9. Viscous liquid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viscous_liquid

    In condensed matter physics and physical chemistry, the terms viscous liquid, supercooled liquid, and glass forming liquid are often used interchangeably to designate liquids that are at the same time highly viscous (see Viscosity of amorphous materials), can be or are supercooled, and able to form a glass.
