Abstract: The growth of water drops on condensation nuclei in a supersaturated environment can be greatly retarded by the presence of long-chain alcohols which form monomolecular layers on the liquid surface. The possibility that a ...

Abstract: The performance of a silver iodide smoke generator, mounted on an aircraft, was measured in flight. The ice-nucleus output was 1014 per gram of silver iodide active at ?15C and 1012 at ?10C. Considerable variations in the ...

Abstract: A technique has been developed for generating fine particles of metaldehyde for possible use in nucleating ice in supercooled clouds. The number of particles effective as ice nuclei is 1012 gm?1 at ?12C and 6?109 gm?1 at ...
