Book excerpt: Climatological records of fog occurrence and wind characteristics in fog are used to design a passive ground-based heat system for the dispersal of warm fog at Travis AFB, California. The array of heat sources is patterned after that described by FIDO engineers for parallel winds. The burner array shape is similar to an elongated horseshoe that encloses the upwind end of the runway, with the parallel legs 450 ft apart terminating 240 ft short of a 700-ft-long cross leg. An analysis of air traffic records in combination with fog statistics indicates that the system could be used to aid approximately 900 (2600) landings and takeoffs in an average (extreme) year during the fog-plagued months from November to February. Assuming a burn time of five minutes per landing or takeoff, the heaters could be expected to operate approximately 75 (260) h and consume approximately eleven (48) million gallons of fuel in an average (extreme) year. During the time the system is operating it generates heat at a rate of approximately 10 billion BTU/h. (Author).

Book excerpt: Results of thermal and chemical fog dispersal tests, conducted by AFCRL during July 1972, are presented and discussed. Forty-three tests were conducted in fog, thirty-three of which were suitable for analysis. Ninety-six additional heat tests were conducted in clear air. Two wide-area urea seeding tests were also performed. An instrumented 200-ft tower, a lidar, and a ground network of visibility sensors and droplet sampler were used to monitor the effects of the tests on the foggy environment. The seeding tests were unsuccessful. Improper execution of the wide-area seeding pattern due to a lack of knowledge of the winds at the seeding location was responsible for the failure of the seeding tests. (Modified author abstract).

Book excerpt: The report is a comprehensive review of fog modification. It includes discussions of the physical structure and climatological characteristics of various types of fog. The three different methods of fog modification, that is, removal, evaporation and prevention are discussed, as are the general requirements of fog dispersal. In depth descriptions are given of the techniques used to modify supercooled, warm, and ice fog. (Author).
