## Abstract Silverβiodide smoke was released from an aircraft, together with a tracer of zinc sulphide, and both aerosols were detected in another aircraft. About 2 Γ 10^14^ freezing nuclei were emitted per gram of silver iodide burnt. The number of effective nuclei decreased on exposure to the air
The interaction between a water molecule and silver iodide clusters has been studied by means of the CNOO method. Two different adsorption forms obtained, one of which may initiate ice nucleation. The formation of a six-membered water molcculc ring above the surface requires less energy than its for
## Abstract Silverβiodide freezing nuclei, together with a tracer of zincβsulphide particles, were released from a mountain top and detected in an aircraft. The iceβnucleating properties of the silver iodide decayed in the daytime but not at night. The ambient temperature did not appear to affect t
