Abstract

AbstractNear‐surface ground thermal conditions are a delayed response to changing air temperature and may result in needle ice development when air temperatures are above 0 °C and ground temperatures below 0 °C. It is difficult, therefore, to predict needle ice development based only on climatological data. Observations indicate that temporally restricted growth phases produce shorter needle ice lengths than longer growth phases.

Il est difficile, en conséquence, de prédire le développement des pipkrakes d'après les seules données climatologiques. Des observations indiquent que de courtes phases de croissance produisent des pipkrakes de longueur plus réduite que des phases de croissance de plus grande durée.
