Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest: Ice measurement study

A study was conducted at the Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest in New Hampshire, USA, to evaluate how measurements of ice accretion are affected by ice collector characteristics and configurations. Water was sprayed over passive ice collectors during freezing conditions to simulate ice storms of different intensity. The collectors consisted of plates composed of four different materials and installed horizontally; two different types of wires strung horizontally; and rods of three different materials, three different diameters, and installed at three different inclinations. Measurements were made with no ice and after approximately 0.25 and 0.50 inches of ice were applied. These data have been published in Campbell et al. 2020. Campbell, J. L., Rustad, L.
