Glossary word of the month
frazil vid shot
Frazil: Ice crystals that form in supercooled water that is too turbulent to permit coagulation into sheet ice.
This is most common in swiftly flowing streams, but is also found in a turbulent sea (where it is called lolly ice). It may accumulate as anchor ice on submerged objects obstructing the water flow.

Investigate other terms in the AMS Glossary of Meteorology!
