Compressed Air Seeding of Supercooled Fog.
Abstract
Two series of experiments, 25 in a light fog and 25 in a heavy fog, were conducted in the CRREL cold cloud chamber. Compressed air was used to glaciate the -4 C fog. The gage air pressure was 413.7 kPa. These tests showed that the number of ice crystals produced exceeded the number of water droplets in the fog by a factor of 21 for a light fog and 133 for a heavy fog. Approximately 2.6 times as many ice crystals were created in a heavy fog than were created in a light fog. (Author)
