0 Supercooled liquids have been made colder than the temperature at which they would normally freeze, without being frozen.
The relationship between liquid, supercooled and glassy water.
For insects that overwinter in a supercooled state in exposed habitats, the vapour pressure of supercooled water is always higher than that of ice.
A further point is that the observed textures support spherulite formation at high temperatures, consistent with formation during solidification of a hot, supercooled, liquid rather than devitrification at low temperatures.
Convection at high altitudes can produce another high-based genus called cirrocumulus, a pattern of small cloud tufts that contain droplets of supercooled water.
These discontinuities allow detection of the glass transition temperature where a supercooled liquid transforms to a glass.
Contact between the snow crystal and the supercooled droplets results in freezing of the liquid droplets onto the surface of the crystals.
Unlike other high cirrus and cirrostratus, cirrocumulus includes a small amount of liquid water droplets, although these are in a supercooled state.
The accretion rate of supercooled water droplets onto the hailstone depends on the relative velocities between these water droplets and the hailstone itself.
