Abstract

Calculations have been made on the rate of melting of solid ice spheres and of graupel particles as they fall from the 0°C level towards the ground. Graphs are drawn for particles of various initial radii showing the radius of the unmelted core as a function of the distance fallen, and the distances which the particles must fall in order to melt completely. The effects of acquiring additional water by condensation and by the accretion of cloud droplets on the rate of melting of the particles are investigated.

## Abstract Measurements have been made of the speeds of ice objects resembling hailstones during free fall, and of the drag coefficients of such objects and of natural hailstones. It has been found that the drag coefficients range from those of spheres (about 0·45) to about 0·8, depending on the s

## Abstract Artifical hailstones having shapes and structures closely resembling natural oblate hailstones have been grown in a vertical icing tunnel. These hailstones were grown by spinning them about the minor axis and at the same time causing the minor axis to move in a conical manner about the
