Properties of Ammonium Nitrate-Urea-Water Hygroscopic Reagent for Warm Fogs

Abstract

When used together, large quantities of ammonium nitrate and urea may be added to small amounts of water to form a liquid possessing useful properties for fog dispersal purposes. The properties of this liquid are reported. The properties included are hygroscopicity, availability, cost, handling, ecological effects, chemical properties, and drop growth. The liquid provides a satisfactory balance of desirable properties for fog dispersal.
