Abstract Ice multiplication processes are known to be responsible for the higher concentration of ice particles versus ice nucleating particles in clouds, but the exact secondary ice formation mechanisms remain to be quantified. Recent in-cloud observations and modeling studies have suggested the importance of secondary ice production upon shattering of freezing drizzle droplets. In one of our previous studies, four categories of secondary ice formation during freezing of supercooled droplets have been identified: breakup, cracking, jetting, and bubble bursts. In this work, we extend the study to include pure water and an aqueous solution of analog sea salt drizzle droplets moving at terminal velocity with respect to the surrounding cold humid air. We observe an enhancement in the droplet shattering probability as compared to the stagnant air conditions used in the previous study. Under free-fall conditions, bubble bursts are the most common secondary ice production mode in sea salt drizzle droplets, while droplet fragmentation controls the secondary ice production in pure water droplets.

Abstract. An accurate prediction of the ice crystal number concentration in clouds is important to determine the radiation budget, the lifetime, and the precipitation formation of clouds. Secondary ice production is thought to be responsible for the observed discrepancies between the ice crystal number concentration and the ice nucleating particle concentration in clouds. The Hallett-Mossop process is active between −3 °C and −8 °C and has been implemented into several models while all other secondary ice processes are poorly constrained and lack a well-founded quantification. During two hours of measurements taken on a mountain slope just above the melting layer at temperatures warmer than −3 °C, a continuously high concentration of small plates identified as secondary ice was observed. The presence of drizzle drops suggests droplet fragmentation upon freezing as the responsible secondary ice mechanism. The constant supply of drizzle drops can be explained by a recirculation theory, suggesting that melted snowflakes, which sedimented through the melting layer, were reintroduced into the cloud as drizzle drops by orographically forced updrafts. Here we introduce a parametrization of droplet fragmentation at high temperatures when primary ice nucleation is basically absent and the first ice is initiated by collision of drizzle drops with aged ice crystals sedimenting from higher altitudes. Based on previous measurements, we estimate that a droplet of 200 µm in diameter produces 18 secondary ice crystals when it fragments upon freezing. The application of the parametrization to our measurements shows high uncertainties, but the estimated number of splinters produced per fragmenting droplet (18–43) lies within the range of uncertainty if we assume that all droplets larger than 40 µm fragment when they freeze.
