Secondary Ice Formation in Idealised Deep Convection—Source of Primary Ice and Impact on Glaciation

Secondary ice production via rime-splintering is considered to be an important process for rapid glaciation and high ice crystal numbers observed in mixed-phase convective clouds. An open question is how rime-splintering is triggered in the relatively short time between cloud formation and observati...
