From page 84...
... If ice coexists with supercooled liquid water, i.e., liquid at temperature below the normal freezing point, there is growth of the ice particles by deposition of vapor diffused from the liquid particles, which tend to evaporate. Brownian motion, turbulence, and differential fall speeds among EDW I N KESS LER the particles all contribute to coalescence and further broadening of the size distribution.
