Abstract
ONE of us has recently shown1 that although necessary temperature conditions for a transition of phase from liquid water to ice often existed in southern, cloud-bearing air masses at the Plateau Rosa in the Italian Alps, the actual periods of precipitation did not appear to follow such conditions in a concomitant manner, if considered on an annual basis. This was further substantiated by extending the analysis from the original period of 5 years to the interval covering 1952–61 inclusive2.
