atmospheresnow
Atmospheresnow is a term that describes the phenomenon of snowflakes forming at high altitudes within an atmosphere, a process distinct from ground-level precipitation. These ice crystals, or snow particles, originate in the upper troposphere or even the stratosphere, where temperatures are well below freezing. The formation process typically begins with supercooled water droplets that freeze onto ice nuclei. As these ice crystals grow through deposition, they can aggregate into larger snowflakes.
Unlike snowfall that reaches the ground, atmospheresnow can be carried long distances by upper-level winds before
