Cloud Physics: A Popular Introduction to Applied Meteorology

Cloud Physics: A Popular Introduction to Applied Meteorology





An expert and fascinating look at the subject of atmospheric phenomena, this text explores a multiplicity of subjects. The introduction is succeeded by discussions of condensation nuclei, the building blocks of clouds, and the formation of clouds and their variety. Ice crystals and the formation of rain and snow receive a detailed examination, as do the properties and formation of hail. A review of the techniques for cloud modifications includes the use of dry and silver-iodide particles; a look at the artificial stimulation of rainfall explores commercial cloud seeding; and a survey of methods for the modification of hailstorms covers the use of rockets and seeding with giant salt nuclei and silver iodide. 1962 ed. 26 figures. 16 halftones. Appendix. Additional reading material. Index.
