Fog Modification - A Technology Assessment

Abstract

The report is a comprehensive review of fog modification. It includes discussions of the physical structure and climatological characteristics of various types of fog. The three different methods of fog modification, that is, removal, evaporation and prevention are discussed, as are the general requirements of fog dispersal. In depth descriptions are given of the techniques used to modify supercooled, warm, and ice fog.
