## Abstract Equations are derived for the growth rate of ice crystals in the form of thin plates and prismatic columns suspended in a supercooled water cloud of given temperature. The effect of the fall motion of the crystal on its development is discussed ‐ in particular a criterion is derived for
## Abstract Ice‐crystal size‐distributions have been measured in clouds associated with the intertropical convergence zone and more isolated cumulonimbus clouds in temperate zones. Mean size‐distributions fit curves N~D~ = 1,000/D^3^ and N~D~ = 1,000/D^2·3^ in tropical and temperate clouds respecti
