"Summary
ABSTRACT
Since 1947 submicron-size aerosols of materials which can initiate ice nucleation activity have been used in weather modification experiments and in operational programs. Many aerosol generating methods have been tried; the two methods most used at this time are combustion of certain flammable solutions and the burning of specially formulated pyrotechnics. Other aerosols have also been generated for atmospheric tracer and warm cloud modification experiments. These aerosol generation techniques are quite flexible, in that many different materials can be generated in a wide range of particle size distributions. Aerosol technology has been and is continuing to be advanced by the weather modification effort.
