Bergeron process

The Wegener–Bergeron–Findeisen process (after Alfred Wegener, Tor Bergeron and W. Findeisen), (or "cold-rain process") is a process of ice crystal growth that occurs in mixed phase clouds (containing a mixture of supercooled water and ice) in regions where the ambient vapor pressure falls between the saturation vapor pressure over water and the saturation vapor pressure over ice.

Cloud physics

The primary mechanism for the formation of ice clouds was discovered by Tor Bergeron.
