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 ...
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 ...
Lead Measurement in Urban Air As It Relates to Weather Modification
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Results from measurements made to study the behavior of lead aerosols in Denver urban air as latent ice nuclei are discussed. In the study, use was made of three independent measuring systems. These were: 1) an NCAR ...
Field Use of a Simple Technique for Identifying Silver Iodide Particles as Snow Crystal Nuclei
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A procedure is presented for identifying those silver iodide particles in ice crystals that have behaved as snow crystal nuclei. The new technique is based on the principle that any submicron particle can act as a nucleus ...
