What is it about?
We compare data from two flight campaigns that targeted atmospheric icing conditions. The flight campaigns took place in Southern France and in the Great Lakes Region of North America. We explore how regional and seasonal differences affected the microphysical properties of the icing conditions. We are also able to confirm that, despite stark differences in the microphysical properties, the icing envelopes specified in Appendix O of Part 25 of the European and American aviation regulations are generally appropriate.

Why is it important?
Icing conditions, especially those including supercooled large droplets (SLDs), continue to be a threat for aviation. This work expands the knowledge about the occurrence of supercooled large droplet conditions with data from Southern France in the spring time.
