supercooled water"Liquid water at a temperature below the freezing point.
Supercooled water
Water which has been cooled below 0 °C but remains in liquid form. Occurs when no seed crystal or nucleus is present around which a crystal structure can form.
Surface based convection ...
Supercooled water: Liquid water that is below 0? C.
Surface temperature: The air temperature measured in the shade at 1.5 m (or 5 ft) above the ground.
Synoptic: Pertaining to an overall view.
Supercooled Water- water that stays in liquid form if undisturbed even though it has been cooled to a temperature below its normal freezing point.

Supercooled Water
Water droplets cooled to a temperature below 0 degrees Celsius without freezing. This state is quite common in the atmosphere.
Temperate Zone ...
fog, pogonip.) A type of fog, composed of suspended particles of ice; partly ice crystals 20 to 100 micron in diameter, but chiefly (especially when dense) ice particles about 12-20 micron in diameter, formed by direct freezing of supercooled water ...
GLAZE A smooth clear icy coating of supercooled water droplets that spread out and freeze onto objects on contact. A storm that produces the accretion of glaze is called an ice storm.
Glaze A coating of ice, generally clear and smooth, formed by the freezing of supercooled water on a surface. Glime An ice coating with a consistency intermediate between glaze and rime.
rime - A white or milky and opaque granular deposit of ice formed by the rapid freezing of supercooled water drops as they impinge upon an exposed object.
It was thought that the seeding would cause supercooled water in the outer rainbands to freeze, causing the inner eyewall to collapse and thus reducing the winds.
Strong upward currents in vertically developed clouds can carry high concentrations of supercooled water to high levels where temperatures are quite cold. Upper portions of these clouds may be composed of water and ice.
FREEZING FOG- Freezing fog is a fog composed of supercooled water droplets. Freezing fog will occur when the outside temperature is below freezing and the fog particles are still liquid. Often freezing fog will occur with freezing drizzle.
It refers to ice crystals or needle-like spicules which form in supercooled water of river or stream currents which move too fast for surface ice sheets to form. In salt water is is called lolly ice.
When vapor, water and ice are simultaneously present in a cirrocumulus cloud of supercooled water droplets, the droplets evaporate in favor of ice crystals because of the difference in vapor pressure, ...
RIME The rapid freezing of supercooled water droplets as they touch an exposed object, forming a white opaque granular deposit of ice. It is one of the results of an ice storm, and when formed on aircraft it is called rime icing.
An accumulation of supercooled water droplets on a vessel or object which are below the freezing point of water. It usually develops in areas with winds of at least 25 knots. The following table gives the Categories of Freezing Spray/Icing.
Freezing Spray: An accumulation of supercooled water droplets on a vessel or object which are below the freezing point of water. It usually develops in areas with winds of at least 25 knots.
Cold clouds Clouds composed of ice crystals or supercooled water droplets or a mixture of both which have temperatures below 0 ·C (32 ·F).
Rime ice: an opaque coating of tiny, white, granular ice particles caused by the rapid freezing of supercooled water droplets on impact with an object. See also clear ice.

Typically found at heights greater than 20,000 feet (6,000 meters), cirrus clouds are composed of ice crystals that originate from the freezing of supercooled water droplets.
Bergeron Process:The process of ice crystals in the atmosphere growing larger at the expense of supercooled water droplets.
This is due to the saturation vapor pressure over "Ice" is lower than over "Water".
