Abstract
The production of secondary ice particles when a moving body gathers rime in a supercooled cloud at β5Β°C has been studied for various drop size distributions. It is found that the rate of production of ice βsplintersβ depends not only upon the concentration of large drops (β©Ύabout 24 ΞΌm diameter) but also upon the concentration of small drops (β©½about 13ΞΌm) in the cloud.

## Abstract Two series of experiments were undertaken to investigate whether secondary ice particles are thrown off during the accretion of supercooled water drops upon an ice surface. Riming took place in cloud at a temperature of about β9Β°C, and the accreted droplets were of various diameters up
