Ice and Mixed Phase Clouds - Plates

Plates are formed at a wide range of temperatures warmer than -40C and at a wide range supersaturations. Plate thickness is also dependant on temperature and supersaturation and at temperatures between -20 and -30C, close to water saturation skeletal plates are observed. The thin plates in this figure probably formed at temperatures between -10 and -20 close to water saturation.
