Abstract
Method and apparatus for measuring conditions affecting susceptibility of a surface to ice formation, as for an aircraft. Detection surfaces are provided with cooling and heating elements. At least a portion of a detection surface is cooled below the ambient to cause ice to form. The temperature of ice formation and the time required for ice to build up provide measures of the risk of icing.
