Measurement of Atmospheric Icing and Droplets [PDF]
Icing conditions including atmospheric liquid water content (LWC) and size distribution of droplets were recorded close to the top of Mt. Areskutan, 1260-m above sea level, Sweden, a place known for frequent severe icing. The findings are comparatively analyzed.

Atmospheric ice nucleation is crucial for global precipitation and affects the structure, lifetime and reflectivity of clouds, thereby impacting climate. Ice nucleates in various ways from aerosol particles, termed ice-nucleating particles, over an extensive temperature and humidity range. Quantifying the kinetic and thermodynamic regimes of nucleation

Research progress on the design principle and preparation of low ice adhesion surface
Ice accretion on a bare surface causes a serious problem in industries and daily life such as communication, electricity, and transportation. At present, the main de-icing method is active de-icing, which includes mechanical de-icing or electric-thermal ...

Trigonal Ice Crystals in Earth’s Atmosphere [PDF]
Abstract We are all familiar with the hexagonal shape of snow and ice crystals, and it is well established that their sixfold symmetry is derived from the arrangement of water molecules in a hexagonal crystal structure. However, atmospheric ice crystals with only threefold rotational symmetry are often observed, which is inconsistent ...

10Be in Polar Ice and Atmospheres [PDF]
We briefly review the application of cosmogenic 10Be measurements in ice and polar atmospheres to: (i) the dating of ice cores, (ii) the deduction of past accumulation rates, (iii) information on the influx of stratospheric aerosols in polar regions, and the mechanism of incorporation of aerosols into the ice.
