Warm Fog Area Seeding Studies.
Abstract
Field operations to investigate the airborne area seeding concept on warm fog modification were carried out at Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, during July 1972. Two test operations were carried out. The first test was accompanied by aircraft control problems due, in part, to shifting winds. Results of the second test were tracked by radar, but higher winds than estimated caused the drops to be carried out as separate lines. The test operations indicate some of the operational problems which may be encountered in carrying out the area seeding concept. (Modified author abstract)
