The decay of the ice‐nucleating properties of silver iodide released from an aircraft

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 × 1014 freezing nuclei were emitted per gram of silver iodide burnt. The number of effective nuclei decreased on exposure to the air in the daytime by a factor of 1,000 in two hours. At night there was no detectable decay.
