Glaze [1] or glaze ice, also called glazed frost or verglas, [2] [3] is a smooth, transparent and homogeneous ice coating occurring when freezing rain or drizzle hits a surface. [4] It is similar in appearance to clear ice , which forms from supercooled water droplets .

雨凇（Glaze [1] 、glaze ice、glazed frost），是冰凍的雨撞擊表面時產生的光滑，透明且均勻的冰層。 [2] 它的外觀類似於清除由過冷 水滴形成的冰。在冬季的溫帶氣候中，當高空中的降水形成並在地表降到低於冰點的溫度時，這是一種相對普遍的現象。 [3]

Glaze ice results from supercooled drops/droplets striking a surface but not freezing rapidly on contact. Glaze ice is denser, harder, and sometimes more transparent than rime ice. Factors, which favor glaze formation, are those that favor slow dissipation of the heat of fusion (i.e., slight supercooling and rapid accretion).

2021年12月6日 · When falling precipitation hits a surface that’s below freezing, it can instantly form what’s known as “glaze ice,” a buildup of smooth, clear, and transparent ice. It can be seen coating tree branches and plants following an ice storm.

An ice storm, also known as a glaze event or a silver storm, is a type of winter storm characterized by freezing rain. [1] The U.S. National Weather Service defines an ice storm as a storm which results in the accumulation of at least 0.25-inch (6.4 mm) of ice on exposed surfaces.

(Also called glaze ice, glazed frost, verglas.) A coating of ice, generally clear and smooth, formed on exposed objects by the freezing of a film of supercooled water deposited by rain, drizzle, fog, or possibly condensed from supercooled water vapor. Glaze is denser, harder, and more transparent than either rime or hoarfrost.

glaze, ice coating that forms when supercooled rain, drizzle, or fog drops strike surfaces that have temperatures at or below the freezing point; the accumulated water covers the surface and freezes relatively slowly. Glaze is denser (about 0.85 gram per cubic centimetre, or 54 pounds per cubic foot), harder, and more transparent than other ...

CLEAR ICE. Clear ice or glaze ice is a heavy coating of glassy ice which forms when flying in areas with high concentration of large supercooled water droplets, such as cumuliform clouds and freezing rain.

2024年2月12日 · Clear ice (or glaze ice) is a glossy, clear, or translucent ice formed by the relatively slow freezing of large, supercooled water droplets. Clear icing conditions exist more often in an environment with warmer temperatures, …

2018年2月25日 · Glaze ice is much heavier than its counterpart rime. From AMS, rime ice is defined as “a white or milk and opaque granular deposit of ice formed by the rapid freezing of super-cooled water drops as they impinge upon an exposed object.” Opposed to glaze ice, rime tends to be much lighter and fluffier.
