What else can I help you with?
What do you call the small balls of ice that fall like rain from the sky?
They are called hailstones. Hail forms when updrafts in thunderstorms carry raindrops upward into extremely cold areas of the atmosphere, where they freeze into ice.
Why is graupel is good news?
Graupel is often considered good news because it is a form of precipitation that can improve skiing and other winter sports conditions. It is softer and has a higher moisture content, making it ideal for creating a good base layer of snow.
What are nearly spherical ice pellets which have concentric layers and are formed by the successive freezing of layers of water?
The nearly spherical ice pellets with concentric layers formed by the freezing of water layers are known as ice pellets or graupel. Graupel forms when supercooled water droplets freeze on snowflakes or ice crystals, creating a layered structure.
What happens when water droplets hit ice pellets in a cloud and freeze?
When water droplets hit ice pellets in a cloud and freeze, they form larger ice particles called graupel. This process is known as accretion. Graupel can continue to grow as more water droplets freeze onto it, eventually becoming large enough to fall as precipitation.
What is another name for a snow pellet?
Ice pellets are commonly referred to as sleet. Hail is similar, but is larger (5mm or more) and is formed from small pieces of ice. Ice pellets and Hail have different meteorological designations.
What are the ratings and certificates for Graupel Poetry - 2013?
Graupel Poetry - 2013 is rated/received certificates of: Hong Kong:III
What actors and actresses appeared in Graupel Poetry - 2013?

What is pellets of icy snow?
Ice pellets are also known as graupel, or soft hail. In the world outside the US, sleet is rain and snow mixed, not ice pellets. As a matter of interest, the international weather code for hail is GR (from graupel), although the actual phenomenon (graupel) has the code GS. Graupel is in effect rime ice formed on snowflakes.In the US, raindrops that freeze into pellets of any size while enroute to the ground are designated sleet.
What prediction of graupel was good news to the winter festival commitee?
Because it is soft snow, like fluff, that will cool down and slow perspiration which is good to avoid hypothermia.
What type of precipitation falls in the desert?
Depending upon the specific desert and season of the year, a desert may receive rain, sleet, hail, graupel or snow.
Water drops that freeze in layers around small nuclei of ice during thunderstorms?
These are called graupel or soft hail. Graupel forms when supercooled water droplets in a thunderstorm freeze on contact with ice nuclei, creating layered ice pellets. Graupel is typically smaller and softer than hailstones.
What is a form of fine granular snow?
A form of fine granular snow is called "graupel." It is precipitation that forms when snowflakes encounter supercooled water droplets in the atmosphere, leading to the formation of small, soft pellets of ice. Graupel is often mistaken for hail but is different in composition and formation.
What do you call the small balls of ice that fall like rain from the sky?
They are called hailstones. Hail forms when updrafts in thunderstorms carry raindrops upward into extremely cold areas of the atmosphere, where they freeze into ice.
What type of precipitation does the biome desert receive?
Deserts may receive rain, snow, hail, sleet or graupel.

Does the desert ever get sleet or snow?
Yes, some deserts, even hot subtropical deserts, receive snow, sleet, hail or graupel.
