  "term": "Supercooled rain",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "Precipitation that falls as liquid water droplets but has a temperature below 0 degrees Celsius. This occurs when rain forms in a warm layer aloft and then falls through a shallow layer of sub-freezing air near the surface. Upon striking objects on the ground, supercooled rain instantly freezes, forming a layer of glaze ice, also known as freezing rain.",
