Numerical Modeling of the Growth of Ice Crystals, Graupel, and Hail,
Abstract
An empirical approximation is presented for estimating the growth of ice crystals by diffusion. The classical approach to the growth of ice crystals by accretion is expanded and coupled with the empirical approach to diffusion growth. This coupling simulates the growth of ice crystals to rimed crystals, rimed crystals to graupel, and graupel to hail. Detailed numerical information for these simulations is presented. (Author)
