Experimental Verification of the Linear Relationship between IR Extinction and Liquid Water Content of Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The IR extinction of clouds has been measured with a CO2 laster transmissometer (? = 10.6 ?m). Using an established linear relationship (based on the Ch?lek approximation to the Mie theory) between extinction and liquid ...
Performance Characteristics of Various Artificial Ice Nuclei Sources
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A variety of devices that produce artificial nuclei have been used in weather modification experiments. These fall into two broad classifications, i.e., pyrotechnics and steady-state flame-type generators. The effectiven ...
A Calibration of the NCAR Acoustical Ice Nucleus Counter
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The NCAR acoustical ice nucleus counter was calibrated against a Bigg-Warner Weather Bureau type chamber modified as a mixing chamber. The mixing chamber was in turn calibrated against the CSU-NSF isothermal diffusion cloud ...
An Airborne Pyrotechnic Cloud Seeding System and Its Use
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The development, testing and use of an airborne pyrotechnic cloud seeding system is described. Pyrotechnic flares producing 50 gm of silver iodide smoke each were developed by two industrial corporations and laboratory ...
