graupel"Heavily rimed snow particles, often called snow pellets; often indistinguishable from very small soft hail except for the size convention that hail must have a diameter greater than 5 mm.
Graupel - snow pellets or soft sleet
Gravity - in particular, the force imparted by the earth which tends to draw all bodies in the earth's sphere of influence toward the center of the earth ...
GRAUPEL A form of frozen precipitation consisting of snowflakes or ice crystals and supercooled water droplets frozen together. Related term: snow pellets ...
Graupel
Ice particles between 2 and 5mm in diameter that form in a cloud by the process of accretion.
Green flash ...
Graupel Small pellets of ice created when supercooled water droplets coat, or rime, a snowflake. The pellets are cloudy or white, not clear like sleet, and often are mistaken for hail.
Graupel: A lightly rimed ice aggregate often found in vigorous storms. Formed when an ice aggregate collects supercooled liquid water droplets.
Graupel See Snow pellets
Green flash A small, green color that occasionally appears on the upper part of the sun as it rises or sets.
Ground fog See Radiation fog.
Graupel Ice pellets, generally 2 to 5 millimeters in diameter, formed in a cloud when supercooled water droplets collide and freeze on impact; a form of frozen precipitation. Sometimes applied to snow pellets.
Graupel- Precipitation formed when water droplets freeze in layers around a falling ice crystal.
Graupel - snow pellets - small solid white chunks of snow.
Snow grains - very small solid chunks of snow.
Hail - large, odd-shaped, layered ice chunks that fall from thunderstorms.
Graupel
Precipitation formed when super cooled water droplets collide and freeze.

Small HailTechnically used to refer to snow pellets or graupel.Small Stream FloodingIn hydrologic terms, flooding of small creeks, streams, or runs.SmogOriginally smog meant a mixture of smoke and fog.
Hail is considered to have a diameter of 5 millimeter or more; smaller bits of ice are classified as ice pellets, snow pellets, or graupel. Individual lumps are called hailstones. It is reported as "GR" in an observation and on the METAR.
Water falls from the clouds as rain, hail, sleet, graupel, snow, etc., and runs off and through soils to form creeks, streams, rivers, and lakes. In its solid form, it is referred to as ice or snow. Water as a liquid and as ice covers 70.
Small hail: same as snow pellets or graupel.Snow: precipitation in the form of ice crystals, mainly of intricately branched, hexagonal form and often agglomerated into snowflakes, ...
Technically used to refer to snow pellets or graupel.
Small Stream Flooding
In hydrologic terms, flooding of small creeks, streams, or runs.
Hydrometeor A particle of condensed water (liquid, snow, ice, graupel, hail) in the atmosphere.
A disdrometer is an instrument used to measure the drop size distribution and velocity of falling hydrometeors. Some disdrometers can distinguish between rain, graupel, and hail.
Graupel:Snow pellets or small hail.
Gravity: A downward force on a object.
Gravity Force:Gravity Force is strongest at the poles.
Ground Fog: Fog that forms at ground level and does not reach the base of the clouds.
hydrometeor typesInformation that delineates hydrometeors into such microphysical classes as rain, snow, graupel, and hail.hygrometerAn instrument designed to measure the air's water vapor content.
GraupelSame as snow pellets or small hail.Gravity DamIn hydrologic terms, a concrete structure proportioned so that its own weight provides the major resistance to the forces exerted on it.
