The objective of this investigation is to understand the inception of ice surface corona streamers. A validated onset criterion that is useful for practical electrode geometries is presented. High-speed streak photography techniques were used to observe the streamers propagating over an ice surface. The effects of several experimental parameters such as freezing water conductivity and HV electrode radius on the streamer inception parameters of an ice surface have been examined. Empirical models have been proposed, based on elements derived from the inception parameters to account for corona streamer propagation velocity and inception voltage/field on an ice surface. Since the propagation velocity is a power function of the electric field, its value has been expressed in terms of the inception voltage.
