Understanding how mixed - phase clouds form and what affects their lifetime and properties will help scientists understand how they affect the overall climate. (pnnl.gov)
Snow - producing mixed - phase clouds originate along the southwest coast of the Greenland Ice Sheet, where the upward slope to Summit is gentle and unimpeded. (sciencedaily.com)
Surface winds from the Summit NOAA meteorological data are shown in a-c: (a) shows all surface winds from 2010 - 2016 for all times; (b) shows surface winds for the ice cloud snow cases; and (c) shows surface winds for the mixed phase cloud snow cases. (sciencedaily.com)
