Abstract

The scale of icing conditions is an important concern when creating applications for the diagnosis and forecasting of icing and in the verification of gridded icing products. Variations in icing conditions can occur in level flight as an aircraft passes through a strong gradient in cloud top temperature and radar reflectivity. Scale is an important issue in the forecasting of icing, as well as in the use of PIREPs. Assessing the spatial and temporal scales on which icing occurs provides better understanding of the meaning of the results from verification exercises.
