Abstract

The transition between wet and dry growth for graupel and hail is examined, and new figures are presented illustrating the critical water contents necessary for transitions into or out of the wet-growth regime. These figures are extended to smaller sizes and lower bulk densities than considered in previous studies. In addition, the possibility of hysteresis in the transitions is examined. -Authors
