| Hexagonal ice column | Parent topic |
Fig. 1. Hexagonal ice column is a common particle shape occurring in ice clouds (for example, Baran AJ 2004, Grenfell TC and Warren 1999). Left: a 3D, computer-generated model. Right: an image taken in situ 03 May 2006 during the CAESAR campaign (Cirrus and Anvils: European Satellite and Airborne Radiation measurement project) with a cloud particle imaging (CPI) probe (for example, Lawson RP et al 2001). The height-to-diameter ratio for these particles can range from to 0.2 (plates, for example, Neshyba SP et al 2003) to 50 (for example, Grenfell TC and Warren 1999). See also microphotographs of the hexagonal ice column particles in Fig. 1 of Grenfell TC and Warren (1999).
