Atmospheric ice takes a wide range of fascinating forms, all
beautiful in their own ways but many posing severe risk to the
security of overhead networks for electric power, communications
and other systems. This comprehensive book documents the
fundamentals of atmospheric icing and surveys the state of the art
in eight chapters, each written by a team of experienced and
internationally renowned experts. The treatment is detailed and
richly illustrated. The presentation follows a logical sequence,
starting with the icing climate and meteorological conditions,
proceeding through development of observations and models of
accretion and release of ice and heavy snow, then considering
static and dynamic mechanical loads, the effects of ice and snow on
electrical insulation, de-icing, ice prevention and mitigation
methods. The statistical analysis of icing data and the
mathematical and numerical modelling support appropriate mechanical
and electrical design processes for icing conditions on overhead
lines. Technical specialists, researchers and students in
engineering and environmental science will all find value
throughout the text.
