Supercooled water

Whilst the transition from liquid water to ice is typically considered to occur at 0°C, there are a number of reasons why water can exist in a supercooled liquid state below this freezing point. Furthermore, the existence of supercooled water in the cryosphere has fundamental implications for import...

description Whilst the transition from liquid water to ice is typically considered to occur at 0°C, there are a number of reasons why water can exist in a supercooled liquid state below this freezing point. Furthermore, the existence of supercooled water in the cryosphere has fundamental implications for important phenomena including frost heave of permafrost, glacier motion and dynamics, sea ice formation, the clogging of rivers and hydroelectric power inlets with frazil ice, and the design of power and telecommunications infrastructure and aircraft.
