CLEARING OF ICE AEROSOL IN CLOUDS AND IN CONDENSATION TRAILS OF AIRCRAFT

摘要

Clearing of a crystalline aerosol by a laser beam is investigated at moisture approximation. The cases of a uniform medium (clouds) and an axial symmetrical exhaust jet behind aircraft (contrails) are considered. The size distribution and variations of ice particle shape (spheres, cylinders, plane disks) are taken into account. As an example we considered contrails behind aircraft Boeing (B) -747-400, Russian airbuses Ilyushin (IL)-86 and IL-96, advanced American High Speed Civil Transport (HSCT) and advanced Russian Super Sonic civil Transport (SST-2).
