The following was taken from a commercial site on the Internet. As far as NASA generating a report the only report I could find on the Internet was generated by NACA back in 1932. Try the Internet under Ice on aircraft.
Ice on an aircraft's wing-surface can have a roughening effect, which, in turn, can change those parts of the aircraft, which generate lift. As a result, the prescribed aerodynamic safety margins, specified for the aircraft with regard to acceleration and lifting performance are either reduced or completely eliminated. In a worst case scenario, icing on the wing can even cause the aircraft to stall. Therefore ice and snow have to be removed from the aircraft surfaces by applying de-icing agents leaving their wings aerodynamically clean for take-off.
But not cool enough to form Ice.
PS: There is an outfit operating out of Mirabel Airport, Quebec that uses compressed air to remove snow and accumulated Ice. It does not get everything off the aircraft but it saves thousands of dollars in Glycol usage.
