Abstract

Aircraft icing is described in terms of its effect on an airplane, its physical characteristics, associated meteorology, and means to detect and diagnose the icing environment. Diagnosing and forecasting icing require understanding of the physical processes governing icing products, recognizing how these processes relate to observable phenomena, and combining information from as many sources as possible to accurately depict relevant characteristics of the icing environment.
