C-FRAGMENTATION and ELECTRICATION

NEGATIVELY CHARGED ICE PARTICLES being
EJECTED from FROST SURFACE of an ICE PELLET(FROZEN DROP)

TWO TYPTS of AEROSOL ARE GENERATED

from the FROZEN DROP(ICE PELLET)

 

1, ELECTRICALLY CHARGED ICE PARTICLES (ICE FRAGAMENTS and RIMED CLOUD DROPS) REPELLING from ICE SURFACE ELECTRICALLY.

2, MICRO-DROPLETS fromed by CONDENSATION of VAPOR NEAR THE ICE SURFACE --FREE FALL due to NO CHARGES.--THERE IS NO PHYSICAL SEPARATION.

 

FORMATION of FROST GROWTH and RIMED CLOUD DROPS on ICE SURFACE

 

SHAPES of FROSTINGS. WHICH OCCUR at SEVERAL TEMPERATURE FOLLOWING NAKAYA'S ICE PATTERN GROWTH.

 

LATENT HEAT RELEASED ON THE ICE SURFACE due to PHASE CHANGE of WATER to ICE . THE TEMPERATURE on The ICE SURFACE IS ALWAYS HIGHER THEN the INTERIOR DURING the STATE of GROWTH.

.

 

PROGRESSIVE FROST GROWTH

on ICE SURFACE and SUBLIMATIONAL NARROWING STEM of CRYSTALS due to The CURVATURE EFFECT,---DIFFERENT VAPOR PRESSURES on ICE SURFACE.

THIS IS FOLLOWING by NATURALLY BREAKUP of ICE FRAGMENTS (ICE PARTICLES and FROZEN DROP) FROM THE ICE SURFACE DURING The STATE of GROWTH.

SAMPLES of EJECTED ICE FRAGMENTS(right) from the ICE SURFACE of A FROZEN DROP(left) DURING the STAGE of GROWTH.

THERMOELECTRIC EFFECT

 

 

 

Micro-droplets are generated by the freezing of a super cooled water drop, which is followed by the ejection of electric charged ice fragments from a frosty surface of the frozen drop. This observed microscopic phenomenon of fragmentation of hydrometeors with their accompanying electrical charges suggests a mechanism of rapid glaciations of ice multiplication process and electrification in the atmosphere.
