Dear All.
I have taken this image a couple of months while flying to Frankfurt in
a KLM Embraer 190 (built in Brazil). But to get to the core of my
contribution to the "leopard skin" discussion: I have always associated
leopard skin ice as a turbulence effect in the vitreous ice layer
similar to the turbulence effect that causes clouds to form certain
patterns (see attached picture). We maybe should look into the
meteorology literature to better understand what is happening to our
"cool" vitreous-water samples under electron exposure!
My two cents,
Marin
