Abstract
THERE is considerable meteorological interest in the nature and concentration of ice-forming nuclei in the atmosphere and their variation with time and weather situation1. Apart from their significance in natural precipitation processes, improved knowledge of their nature and occurrence is essential to any realistic assessment of weather modification by cloud seeding with artificial ice nuclei.
