Occurrence and Detection of Supercooled Water in the Atmosphere

Abstract

A brief introduction to supercooling is followed by a general discussion of clouds and fog. The next consideration is the freezing of supercooled drops on objects, and the primary concern here is aircraft icing. Climatological information on icing conditions is included for the Federal Republic of Germany. Next the relative merits of different wavelengths for remote sensing of clouds are examined. (Author)
