From page 114... ...
Cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) : Particles, either liquid or solid, upon which water vapor condenses and forms cloud drops in the atmosphere.

From page 115... ...
Transformation of water droplets to ice crystals is sought to release the latent heat of fusion to enhance buoyancy and invigorate cloud growth. Glaciogenic seeding: Process of enhancing ice content in clouds either by nucleating new crystals or freezing cloud droplets.
|
From page 116... ...
* Nucleation: The initiation of a phase change of a substance to a lower themodynamic energy state (i.e., vapor to liquid condensation, vapor to solid depositions, or liquid to solid freezing)
|
From page 117... ...
The percentage of such rerandomized seeding effects float exceed the actual real result is the probability of the real result occurring by chance. Riming: The rapid f eezing of supercooled water droplets as they impinge upon an exposed object and accrete to it.
