Electron-Microscopic Study of Silver Iodide as Contact or Sublimation Nuclei
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Experiments of ice nucleation by silver iodide were conducted in a cold chamber at various temperatures. The seeded ice crystals were replicated and an examination of the position of AgI nuclei in individual ice crystals ...
A Study of the Mechanisms of Acid Rain Formation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Samples of rain, snow, cloud water, aerosols and soil were collected in Colorado to study the mechanisms of acid rain formation. Chemical compositions of various types of samples were analyzed to investigate the stepwise ...
Molecular Structure and Ice Nucleation of Some Organics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The ice nucleating ability of a series of substituted phenols and benzoic acids was determined. Two different measures of activity were utilized: the onset temperature of freezing, as determined on a cold stage microscope; ...
Amino Acids as Ice Nucleators
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The authors' recent studies on phenols and benzoic adds suggest that the ability of solid organic compounds to nucleate freezing of supercooled water may be predicted, at least in a limited number of cases, from purely ...
Silver Analysis of Seeded Snow by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An experimental weather modification program using silver iodide as the cloud seeding agent is being conducted over the Park Range in northwestern Colorado. The measure of silver content in target area precipitation can ...
