Document Summary
This term means quite simply that liquid water can exist at temperatures below 0 degrees celsius. These nuclei tend to be most effective at producing ice at temperatures actually less than -10 degrees celsius. common to see liquid water exist at temperatures somewhere between -1 degree. When the temperature falls below 0, we say, therefore, that the liquid water exists in a so-called super-cooled environment. the term super-cool to indicate the state of h2o in a liquid phase at temperatures below 0 degrees celsius. That facilitates a freezing process, and what happens during a real freezing rain. 0 degrees represents a melting point for water. Bands of freezing rain tend to be 10-150 or 160 km in width. Hard to reach conditions that facilitate production of freezing rain. Bands of freezing rain lie along river valleys that facilitate production of cold air at lower levels. Production of freezing rain occurs on colder side.
