description

Abstract The observation of interference patterns in reconstructed digital holograms of natural ice crystals is reported. It is suggested that an investigation of the interference fringes’ origin will yield a new application of holography in atmospheric sciences by revealing information on otherwise hardly accessible properties of the crystals.
