Instrument

RICE
Rosemount Icing Detector

The Rosemount Icing Detector (RICE) is an in-situ airborne probe developed by Rosemount Inc. It uses magnetostrictive oscillation to detect frequency changes caused by ice accumulating on the sensing cylinder. These frequency changes are related to the rate of ice accumulation, which helps determine the liquid water content. RICE typically samples every second.
