Airborne Measurements in Support of a Field Test of the Stabilization of Supersized Water Droplets: Pilot Experiment.

Abstract

This report is concerned with the Navy's need for screening by particulate matter or fog, for various applications including camouflage and electromagnetic sensing. Certain hygroscopic material such as the Salty Dog effluent can be generated by pyrotechnic devices. These have been found to produce foggy plumes when released in moist stable air. Therefore its is appropriate within the NAVAIR aerosol program to examine meteorological conditions which would influence the formation and dissipation of such plumes.
