Observing ice particle growth along fall streaks in mixed-phase clouds using spectral polarimetric radar data

The growth of ice crystals in presence of supercooled liquid droplets represents the most important process for precipitation formation in the mid-latitudes. However, such mixed-phase interaction processes remain relatively unknown, as capturing the complexity in cloud dynamics and microphysical...
