Researchers in China monitored the icing process (at 10 meters and 1.5 meters) of agglomerate fog, an event where massive amounts of fog come together during a cold surge which lasted for 102 hours. They found that agglomerate fogs, snow and rain, contributed to the icing process. They observed significant differences in the thickness and density of the accumulated ice, as well as the mechanism that contributed to icing growth and the duration of the icing at the two different heights. The sticking efficiency of snow particles has a significant impact on icing growth rate…read more. TECHNICAL ARTICLE
