Abstract:

Numerical experiments on artificial cloud crystallization were performed in order to study the effect of the underlying surface on cloud formation and on the optical properties of the clouds after artificial dispersal. It is shown that repid formation of clouds above moist soil can prevent improvement of the optical parameters of the atmosphere and interfere with controlled modification of the optical weather.
