Technical note
Freezing conditions identification with the Forward Scatter FD70
Icing occurs under very specific atmospheric conditions where supercooled water comes in contact with cold surfaces. Icing is an operationally significant phenomenon as ice accretion can sometimes be heavy enough to bring down trees and powerlines, cause safety issues for aircraft, and make roads and pathways hazardous.
Icing is often caused by supercooled liquid precipitation, or freezing precipitation. Typically, freezing precipitation forms in the atmosphere by following a pattern of temperature changes in the right order.
