Abstract
In Chapter 13 we discussed the growth of ice particles by vapor diffusion from drops to ice crystals, and in Chapter 14 we described ice particle growth by the accretion of supercooled drops, and the formation of snowflakes by the process of ice crystal aggregation. In this chapter we shall look closer at the microphysics of ice particle-drop interactions, and also at the physics of melting and freezing of individual cloud particles.
