TRANSLUCENT
Not transparent, but clear enough to allow light to pass through.
At this time, a translucent debris shield was apparent below the condensation cone which was located about 3 miles from our filming site.
A glossy, clear, or translucent ice formed by the relatively slow freezing of large supercooled in water droplets.
Ice pelletsPrecipitation of transparent or translucent pellets of ice, which are round or irregular, rarely conical, and which have a diameter of 0.2 inch (five millimeters), or less. There are two main types.
Snow Precipitation composed of white or translucent ice crystals, chiefly in complex branched hexagonal forms.
Ice Pellects: Transparent or translucent round or irregular shapes pellets of ice having a 0.2 inch (5mm)or less. 4.Rain: Falls is the forms of drops larger than 0.02 inch (0.5 mm) 5.Snow: Ice crystals which have six points. 6.
SNOW Frozen precipitation in the form of white or translucent ice crystals in complex branched hexagonal form. It most often falls from stratiform clouds, but can fall as snow showers from cumuliform ones.
Ice Pellets: A form of precipitation consisting of transparent or translucent pellets of ice, 5 mm (2 in) or less in diameter. Ice pellets may be spheres or irregularly shaped.
cloudy, translucent, mixed layers - these will define the various cloud regimes that the hail-stone has spent its life amongst.); the type of snow/pellets etc., and if possible, determine which portion of the cloud the ppn appeared to originate from.
SNOW: A type of frozen precipitation composed white translucent ice crystals in complex hexagonal forms.
SNOW FLURRY: Also referred to as a snow shower, a very light and brief period of snowfall.
ice pellets—Small, transparent or translucent, round or irregularly shaped pellets of ice. They may be (1) hard grains that rebound on striking a hard surface or (2) pellets of snow encased in ice.
altocumulus (Ac) - shallow cloud sheet broken into roughly regular, rounded clouds
altostratus (As) - featureless, thin, translucent cloud sheet
nimbus ( Ns) - extensive, very dark cloud sheet, usually yielding precipitation ...
Their appearance most often is that of a translucent helical tube, similar to waterspouts in appearance and generative mechanisms.
diameter varying between 5 and 50 mm or even more, the fall of which constitutes hail. Hailstones consist almost entirely of transparent ice, or of a series of layers of transparent ice with a thickness of at least 1 mm, alternating with translucent ...
