Abstract / Description of output

Ice formation on surfaces is a common phenomenon occurring in the presence of water at temperatures below the freezing point, and can negatively impact many aspects of our lives. Atmospheric icing, which forms due to the natural presence of water as small liquid drops or vapor in the air, can cause damage to ground transportation, airplanes, power lines, and communication systems (e.g., telephone and cable television line operations) and other man-made structures and devices.
