The thing about this late cold spell in April, with its
graupel showers and snow-peaked hills, is that it'll make us all the more grateful for the warmth of summer, whenever that eventually begins.
Weather experts say
graupel is a kind of hybrid frozen precipitation, sometimes referred to as "snow pellets".
where [M.sub.x] = [[q.sub.x] [N.sub.x]] and the subscripts x = [c, r, i, s, g, h] denote the cloud water, rain water, ice crystal, snow,
graupel, and hail, respectively.
Then shout out, "
Graupel!'' People will rush to prescribe you medication.
GRAUPEL This describes a combination of a snowflake and freezing fog, formed when the two collide.
For parameterization of microphysical processes, the WRF New Thompson
graupel scheme [53]was chosen, since it considers
graupel and typical ice water concentrations in mountainous areas during winter.

Graupel floats in the thickness of some pines near the dump: discs of darkness coast near the weeds braceleted with froth and over the ankle depth of muddy water as if from the tentative pressure of hands Wind throws down small birds like bits of brown felt Big wet snow starts to fall
These assumptions, which are reasonable in warm cloud modeling, appear to be not so adequate for mixed phase clouds, where interactions between different categories (cloud water, rain water, crystal ice,
graupel, hail) have to be considered.
The size distribution of small
graupels (minigraupels), we studied, followed closely the log-normal distribution curve (Table 5) and does not correspond to much larger
graupel sizes sampled in Germany.
A strong evening wind from the west carries in a snow squall, with accumulations of 10 centimetres in 10 minutes, first as
graupel, then hail.
