Abstract:

The report represents the first of a series of studies concerning the heterogeneous nucleation of supercooled water. The ultimate goal is to obtain fog and cloud seeding agents with a variety of operational characteristics. Knowledge of the compounds that yield a negative test for a particular freezing process is important to scientists searching for active ice nucleating agents as it allows attention to be focused upon the more active compounds. The report contains a list of these compounds.
