description

In Chapter 13, we discussed the growth of snow crystals by vapor diffusion, and in Chapter 14, we described the manner with which snow crystals interact with other snow crystals and with drops. In this chapter, we shalllook closer at the growth of ice particles by the accretion of supercooled drops, at the formation of snow flakes by the collision of snow crystals, and also consider the physics of melting of individual ice particles.
