Glaciation transformation from water droplets to ice particles
Glaciation refers to the transformation of cloud particles from water droplets to ice crystals.
Glaciation
The process of freezing water in cloud formation. In thunderstorms, glaciation usually indicates strong updrafts and potential for hail. Glaciation is also believed to be required for lightning formation.

Glaciation
The transformation of cloud particles from water drops to ice crystals. Thus, a cumulonimbus cloud is said to have a "glaciated" upper portion.

Glaciation The conversion of all the supercooled liquid water in a cloud into ice crystals, thus reducing the growth rate of ice crystals and hail.
Glaciated cloud A cloud or portion of a cloud where only ice crystals exist.

The warm rain process can also produce supercooled raindrops that freeze and become graupel, necessary for the rapid glaciation of convective tops by production of secondary ice crystals. This has been called the coalescence freezing mechanism.
