Studies of -40 C Isothermal Layers at High Latitudes,

Abstract

Atmospheric soundings reveal that isothermal layers at temperatures near -40 deg C sometimes occur at high latitudes. In the absence of sufficient ice nuclei, supercooled water frozen by homogeneous freezing would act to produce such layers. The formation of such layers by homogeneous freezing should furthermore result in significant dynamic responses in the atmosphere.
