- Abstract
Seventeen horizontal aircraft passes were made across 0°C regions within 10 winter storms over Atlantic Canada. Regions of near freezing temperatures (±1°C) ranged from <2 km to 145 km in extent. These regions were associated with both warm and cold fronts. The detailed kinematic, thermodynamic and microphysical characteristics of these regions were deduced. Significant changes in these characteristics often occur very close to 0°C and indicate that these 0°C regions were often directly associated with the locations of the fronts aloft. Microphysical processes involving phase changes of precipitation significantly affect the nature of the atmosphere near these 0°C regions and in particular affect the structure of some of the fronts.
