✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Silver‐iodide freezing nuclei, together with a tracer of zinc‐sulphide particles, were released from a mountain top and detected in an aircraft. The ice‐nucleating properties of the silver iodide decayed in the daytime but not at night. The ambient temperature did not appear to affect the daytime rate of decay. The top of the smoke plume rose no higher than in previous experiments when it was released from a flat plain.

## Abstract Silver‐iodide smoke was released from an aircraft, together with a tracer of zinc sulphide, and both aerosols were detected in another aircraft. About 2 × 10^14^ freezing nuclei were emitted per gram of silver iodide burnt. The number of effective nuclei decreased on exposure to the air
