A study of the initial stage of the accretion of ice.
Accretions about 5mm thick, grown without ventilation at air and deposit temperatures Ta approx -10oC and Ts approx -5oC, are shown to follow the substrate orientation, whether basal or prismatic, with the exception of a few embedded tiny crystals. The mechanisms that determine these different behav...

Sumario: | Accretions about 5mm thick, grown without ventilation at air and deposit temperatures Ta approx -10oC and Ts approx -5oC, are shown to follow the substrate orientation, whether basal or prismatic, with the exception of a few embedded tiny crystals. The mechanisms that determine these different behaviours are discussed. The results are applied to the interpretation of the structure of wind tunnel accretions and of natural hailstones throughout their different growth stages. -from Authors |
