ROLE OF INSOLUBLE PARTICULATES IN THE ICE CRYSTAL FORMATION IN A SUPERCOOLED WATER CLOUD.

Abstract

Briefly, we discussed the main mechanism of ice nucleation on AgI and PbI//2, and the applicability of the existing theories for explaining the rate of glaciation in a supercooled water cloud. Attention is also paid to natural inadvertent cloud seeding by inactive insoluble particulates which through simple contact and geometrical configuration can speed up the droplet freezing. The mechanism of particle deposition and action in a supercooled water cloud is most effectively through Brownian motion and phoretic forces.
