Fog cleari

31、ng in open-pit mines can allow the safe resumption of mining operations that were suspended due to decreased visibility (ASCE/EWRI 2005 ). Ice fogs are a special case and are slower to dissipate than supercooled fogs because they are composed mostly of tiny ice crystals and they generally form at ai

32、r temperatures below about 243 K ( 30 C) (e.g., Huffman and Ohtake 1971 ). Ice fog dis-persal is fundamentally different from the dispersal of super-cooled fogs and may be more appropriately labeled ice fog suppression . Ice crystals predominate and form by heteroge-neous nucleation and, in some ins

33、tances, by homogeneous nucle-ation . Ice fogs are primarily caused by unnatural sources of water vapor, which may include automobile and aircraft exhaust, exhaust from utility plants, and open water, such as cooling ponds (ASCE/EWRI 2005 ). Benson (1969) indicated that decreasing the ambient tempera

34、ture of these moisture sources did improve visibility. Most attempts to disperse ice fogs have included electric fi elds, dehydrators of various types (e.g., gas, furnace, automobile), air movement by helicopters, polyethylene rafts, plastic fi lms (e.g., polyethylene), injection wells, cooling towe

35、rs, and chemical fi lms (e.g., hexadeconal, ethylene glycol monobutyl ether). Presently, the standard technique used to sup-press ice fog caused by exposed water sources employs a thin ethylene glycol monobutyl ether fi lm. This fi lm is harmless to marine life (it is biodegradable) and lasts much l

36、onger than other fi lms, but it is less effective in suppressing ice fog than hexadeconal fi lm (ASCE/EWRI 2005 ). McFadden (1976) and McFadden and Collins (1978) provide details of these tech-niques. Ice fog suppression techniques will not be discussed in this document. The focus of this standard i

37、s on the dispersal of supercooled fog. 1.1 HISTORICAL REVIEW OF SUPERCOOLED FOG DISPERSAL OPERATIONS Supercooled fog is colloidally stable but is otherwise in a ther-modynamically metastable state (e.g., Silverman and Weinstein 1974 ). Thus, supercooled fog can be dissipated by growth and sedimentat

38、ion of ice crystals. Seeding supercooled fog with ice-forming particles ( nuclei ) may yield visibility improvements of at least 1.6 km (1 mi) within 15 min following seeding (Fig. 1-1 ). The results are so repeatable that randomized statistical verifi ca-tion is generally considered unnecessary. As

39、 a result, super-cooled fog dispersal has been operational since 1950 in the United States and since 1952 in Russia. The most frequent loca-tions of these operations are at airports. Suitable seeding tech-niques are primarily dependent upon wind, temperature, and the supercooled liquid water amount.

40、 Some involve the introduction of artifi cial ice nuclei into the air from either ground-based or airborne delivery systems. Other techniques employ liquid carbon dioxide, nitrogen, or propane to disperse fogs. Liquid Fogs can pose a signifi cant threat to public safety and quality of life in the ai

41、r, on land, and at sea. For example, the luxury liner Andrea Doria collided with the Stockholm in fog off New York and sank on its 1956 maiden voyage. Fifty-one people died and millions of dollars in property were lost (Silverman and Weinstein 1974 ). An airliner (Flight VD8387) overran the runway i

42、n heavy fog after landing in Yichun, in northeastern China, killing 43 passengers on August 24, 2010. Extended periods of fog can have large economic impacts on the avia-tion, tourism, transportation, and mining industries (ASCE/EWRI 2005 ). For example, in the early 1970s one fog at one U.S. airpor

43、t caused an estimated $100,000 loss of revenue due to aircraft diversions, delays, and cancellations (Silverman and Weinstein 1974 ). The total annual weather impact on U.S. avia-tion is an estimated $3 billion for accident damage and injuries, delays, and unexpected operating costs, and weather is

44、a primary contributing factor in 23% of all aviation accidents (Kulsea 2002 ). Although extended foggy periods can have negative impacts on agriculture and the mental health of the general public, there are some situations in which fog is benefi cial, such as where fog water is collected for drinkin

45、g water in arid regions (e.g., Sche-menauer 1998 ), and where fog supplies some of the necessary moisture to vegetation. For example, fog supplies needed mois-ture to the northern California redwood trees during the summer dry season (e.g., Schemenauer 1998 ). Another example is the notorious winter

46、 fog in the San Joaquin Valley of California, which provides an important portion of the winter dormancy requirements of many deciduous orchard crops in the region. The San Joaquin valley fogs are also known as “tule” fogs and are in the category of “warm fogs” that are not normally super-cooled, as

47、 their temperatures are often just above freezing (ASCE/EWRI 2005 ). The harmful effects on transportation alone have been suffi -cient justifi cation for attempts to modify or disperse fogs. Sil-verman and Weinstein (1974) note that fog was the subject of the fi rst scientifi cally designed weather

48、 modifi cation effort of any kind. This may partially explain why supercooled fog dis-persal is perhaps the only weather-modifi cation technology that does not require long experimentation and careful mea-surement to detect results, because results are both visible and nearly instantaneous. The most

49、 frequently cited goal of any supercooled fog dispersal project is to increase visibility. An increase in the local temperature can be a by-product of the clearing activities. Fog dispersal operations reduce the threat to public safety by increasing the visibility over highways and airport runways. Dispersing fog to increase visibility, espe-cially at airports, has tremendous economic valueparticu-larly at the local levelas transportation returns to normal levels. Addit
