Warm Fog Dispersal Tests with Glycerine at Greenbrier Valley Airport, Lewisburg, West Virginia.
Abstract
Field tests designed to measure the effectiveness of glycerine as a warm fog dispersal agent were conducted at the Greenbrier Valley Airport, Lewisburg, West Virginia, during the month of September, 1973. The tests were designed to provide a quantitative relationship between the amount of glycerine used and the resultant improvement in visibility. Problem areas such as controlled particulation, improved analytical evaluation, and more accurate targeting capability were emphasized. The test results verified that isolated areas of improved visibility were produced by the seeding experiments. However, the test results also indicate that the effects produced by shear winds will be an overriding factor in determining the quantity of glycerine required to open a 'fogged in' airport. (Author)
