Bergeron Process - A theory that relates the formation of precipitation to supercooled clouds, freezing nuclei, arid the different saturation levels of ice and liquid water.

The most important is through the Bergeron Process, theorized by Tor Bergeron, in which supercooled water droplets and ice crystals in a cloud interact to produce the rapid growth of ice crystals, ...
This is known as the Bergeron process, after Tor Bergeron, who conceived it in 1928, and published it in 1934.
