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.

降水影响我们所有人，这项研究集中在它的一个方面，冻雨，它经常与冰球联系在一起。这种降水的结冰可能会导致灾难性的后果，比如2013年12月的多伦多。关于这种降水，我们仍然有许多不确定因素，从对其基本特征和驱动机制的了解差距，到我们监测它并预测其未来发生的能力。我整个研究计划的这一部分的目标是更好地了解冻雨/冰球，并通过检查四个子目标来应用这一见解。这项研究的重点是1名博士生、3名硕士研究生和5名本科生。
