Measurements of the spreading factor of accreted droplets (the ratio of the final radius to the initial radius) have been determined over a wide range of impact speeds and ice deposit temperatures for ambient temperatures of −11 and −22°C and droplet radii of 17 and 54μ. The spreading factors vary from 2 to 6 and depend primarily on the impact speed and deposit temperature.
