Field Experiments with Artificial Aerosols at San Nicolas Island, California.
Abstract
Artificial fogs grown on hygroscopic (Salty Dog) nuclei were produced in the marine environment over Laser Bay, San Nicolas Island, California. These fogs were studied using over water optical extinction measurements in the visual, near and far infrared bands as well as by aerosol size measurements from an instrumented aircraft and from a shore based instrument. These studies show that optical extinction in the visible and near infra red wavelengths produced by biologically safe hygroscopic nuclei can be generated in military significant scales in the marine boundary layer.
