...Based on the temperature at which ice crystals form, it is safe to assume that the upper clouds, such as cirrus, cirrus clouds, and cirrus strata clouds, and the anvil-shaped parts of cumulonimbus clouds, are mostly made of ice crystals. In surface meteorological observations, when ice crystals float and the horizontal visibility is 1 km or more, they are called ice prisms, and because they sparkle in the sun, they are also called diamond dust. When supercooled water droplets are mixed with strong ice prisms, the horizontal visibility is less than 1 km, and in this case it is called ice fog. *Some terminology explanations that mention "diamond dust" are listed below.

…氷晶が発生する温度からみて,絹雲,絹積雲,絹層雲といった上層の雲や積乱雲の金床状のところは,ほとんどが氷晶からなっていると考えてよい。地上気象観測法では,氷晶が浮かんでいて水平視程が1km以上のときは細氷ice prismsといい,太陽に輝いてキラキラ見えることからダイヤモンド・ダストdiamond dustとも呼ばれる。強度の細氷に過冷却水滴が混在するような場合には水平視程が1km以下になり,このときは氷霧ice fogと呼ばれる。… ※「diamond dust」について言及している用語解説の一部を掲載しています。 出典|株式会社平凡社世界大百科事典 第2版について | 情報 |
