Precipitation affects us all and this research focuses on one of its aspects, freezing rain which is often associated with ice pellets. The icing from this precipitation can lead to catastrophic consequences, such as during December 2013 in Toronto. We still have many uncertainties about such precipitation ranging from gaps in understanding its fundamental features and driving mechanisms to our ability to monitor it and to anticipate its future occurrence. The objective of this component of my overall research program is to better understand freezing rain/ice pellets and to apply this insight through an examination of four sub-objectives. The research will be the focus for 1 PhD student, 3 MSc students, and 5 undergraduate students.

降水影响着我们所有人，这项研究的重点是它的一个方面，冻雨，这往往是与冰球。这种降水的结冰可能导致灾难性的后果，例如2013年12月在多伦多期间。我们对这种降水仍有许多不确定性，从对它的基本特征和驱动机制的理解不足，到我们监测它和预测它未来发生的能力。我的整体研究计划的这一组成部分的目标是更好地了解冻雨/冰球，并通过四个子目标的检查应用这种见解。该研究将是1名博士生，3名硕士生和5名本科生的重点。
