About this document
Optimal Hygroscopic Seeding Particles by nuckelchen is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document summarizes a study on hygroscopic seeding using salt powder from flares to modify clouds. Key points: - South African hygroscopic flares containing 1 kg of salt powder were used to seed clouds from aircraft. Each flare burns for 4 minutes. - Seeding was tracked using sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) tracer. Measurements showed increases in cloud liquid water content and decreases in cloud droplet size after seeding. - Analysis of seeded and unseeded cloud parcels found the "optimum" seeding reag
