Abstract

At the Desert Research Institute, Reno, NV, USA, we investigated atmospheric ice crystal initiation, growth and interaction. We developed a mechanism of ice crystal growth in mixed clouds that is consistent with basic chemistry and physics, observations by others, and numerical studies of ice crystal growth from the vapor phase. The mechanism may provide insight into ice crystal morphology and charge separations in ice crystals growing in mixed clouds.
