WARM FOG SUPPRESSION IN LARGE-SCALE LABORATORY EXPERIMENTS

VISIBILITY IN WARM FOG PRODUCED IN A 600-CUBIC-METER CHAMBER WAS INCREASED BY FACTORS OF 3 TO 10 BY SEEDING WITH CAREFULLY SIZED SODIUM CHLORIDE PARTICLES. AS LITTLE AS 1.7 MILLIGRAMS OF SALT PER CUBIC METER WAS EFFECTIVE. EXTRAPOLATION OF THESE RESULTS INDICATES THAT CLEARING A SUITABLE LANDING ZONE FOR AIRCRAFT WOULD NOT INVOLVE PROHIBITIVE AMOUNTS OF SEEDING MATERIAL. /AUTHOR/
