Raindrops that are supercooled near or below freezing freeze onto the ground or objects. Tree branches and other objects become covered in smooth, transparent ice. It is not uncommon for raindrops to adhere to airplanes. Ice that forms when rainwater that has fallen cools later is not raindrop ice, even if it looks similar. The conditions for the formation of raindrop ice are a fairly thick layer of below-freezing air relatively close to the ground. Normally, it is only found in cold regions, but it has been observed in the subtropics of Hong Kong.

氷点近く、あるいは氷点下に過冷却した雨滴が、地面や地物に凍り付いたもの。木の枝などは表面が滑らかで透明な氷に包まれる。飛行機に雨氷が付着することも珍しくない。いったん降った雨水があとで冷却してできた氷は、たとえ似ていても雨氷ではない。比較的地面に近い高さに、かなりの厚さをもつ氷点下の気層があるのが、雨氷ができる条件である。普通、寒地でしかみられないが、亜熱帯の香港(ホンコン)で観測されたことがある。 [篠原武次] 出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
