Term: Graupel

Description:

Graupel refers to soft, spherical ice pellets that form when supercooled water droplets freeze on falling snowflakes or ice crystals. It is characterized by its small size, typically less than 5 millimeters in diameter, and its opaque and white appearance. Graupel is often mistaken for hail but is much softer and less dense.
