Earlier this week we broke down the complexities of mixed-phase precipitation forecasting.Within that we briefly touched on a key component to that complexity w ...

This anomalous behaviour persists even when water is supercooled — that is, cooled below the temperature at which, under equilibrium conditions, it would form ice. Water exhibits a well-known ...

the transformation of supercooled water into ice. A groundbreaking University of Hawai'i at Manoa study on the freezing of water droplets suspended in air sheds light on a key process in Earth's ...

To supercool something, it has to reach a temperature below its freezing point while staying in a liquid form. Normally when water drops below 32 degrees Fahrenheit, it freezes and turns into ice.
