Decomposing and fragmented particles are those snow crystals that have in some way been changed from their original form. This change can be through mechanical action (such as with wind) or through natural processes such as rounding (in which a crystal loses its original form and its branches ... can become detached from the original crystal). Parts of the original crystal forms may still be discernible. Decomposing forms are often smaller than the original particles from which they formed. 8, record 1, English, - decomposing%20and%20fragmented%20particle

Grain altéré de neige rappelant encore la forme originelle du cristal dont il est issu. 2, record 1, French, - particule%20reconnaissable
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Lors d'une chute de neige par température négative, les cristaux, souvent agglomérés en flocons, peuvent être soumis à l'action mécanique du vent qui a pour conséquence, comme montré plus haut, de briser plus ou moins, suivant sa vitesse, les structures dendritiques fragiles. Si les destructions ne sont pas très importantes, on peut encore voir de nombreuses formes originelles dendritiques et on ne parle plus de cristaux de neige fraîche (symbole : +) mais des particules reconnaissables (symbole = /). 2, record 1, French, - particule%20reconnaissable
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Les températures douces ont entraîné le tassement de la neige et la transformation des cristaux en particules reconnaissables. [Exemple entériné par le Comité d'uniformisation de la terminologie des bulletins d'avalanche.] 3, record 1, French, - particule%20reconnaissable
