The paper presents experimental observations on the growth of spongy ice in the vicinity of the forward stagnation point of a disc situated in a cross flow containing supercooled water droplets. Following some preliminary observations, the discussion focuses on two quantities: the ice fraction and the rate of growth of the accretion. The data presented reveal the effects of air speed, air temperature, liquid-water content, and salinity. They also suggest two morphological regimes: at higher air temperatures, the growth appeared to be crystalline columnar; at lower temperatures, smaller crystals appeared to be randomly distributed, producing a mushy accretion.
