Deposition (meteorology)
Encyclopedia : D : DE : DEP : Deposition (meteorology)
Deposition is the process by which, in sub-freezing air, water vapor changes directly to ice without first becoming a liquid. This is how snow forms in clouds, as well as frost and hoar frost on the ground. The reverse of deposition is sublimation.
