Description

The first part of this presentation concentrates on operational programs in the dissipation of supercooled fog as conducted by U. S. commercial and military agencies with emphasis on that of the U. S. Air Force f s Air Weather Service (AWS). This program involves airborne dissipation systems at Elmendorf Air Force Base, Alaska, and at U. S, "bases in Germany, as well as ground-based propane systems at Fair child Air Force Base, Washington, and Hahn Air Base, Germany.

The second part reviews progress in warm-fog dissipation which is mostly in the research and development stage. The French jet-engine installation is noted along with proposals for warm-fog dissipation by heat techniques prepared by several U. S. commercial companies and by helicopter downwash as advanced by the Air Force Cambridge Research Laboratories (AFCRL). Information is presented on recent tests, using hygroscopic materials, conducted by AFCRL, AWS, and the Navy Weapons Center.
