Ice Embryo Formation

Ice Embryo Formation is a theoretical construct in atmospheric physics that refers to the initial stage of ice nucleation wherein a thermodynamically unstable cluster of water molecules attains a critical size and ordered crystalline structure, distinguishing it from transient molecular aggregates by its potential to grow into a stable ice nucleus.
