Abstract
In order to isolate the factors governing the freezing point of cloud and precipitation elements, experiments have been made to measure the effects of physical dimension and of certain ions in solution upon the freezing temperature of water in glass capillaries. The results of these experiments indicate that the freezing point of water in capillaries is independent of the volume or of the interface area, and that the radius of the capillary tubing is the only physical dimension that affects the freezing point of water contained in it. The amount of supercooling necessary to induce freezing can be either increased or diminished by the addition of certain ions in solution. The magnitude and sign of the change in freezing point are functions of the type of ions in solution, the molar concentration of the ions, and the capillary radius.
