Florida Cumulus Seeding Experiment 1970: Silver Content of Precipitation.

Abstract

Evaporation of rainwater samples is a feasible method for the enrichment of silver. Atomic adsorption is easily brought to a sensitivity of 10 to the minus 10th power g of Ag or better as a limit of detection. The aircraft sampling problem is presently the worst obstacle. Adsorption on plumbing and sample containers on board the aircraft can very efficiently remove all or part of the silver from each sample. This is the problem that has to be solved before useful results can be obtained of presence of silver in seeded rains. (Author)
