Abstract:
The results of numerical, laboratory, and field experiments on creation and development of artificial cloudy formations downstream of sea ships are presented. The development conditions are shown to be identical to those of cloudy formations of the anthropogenic origin. These conditions can be changed thus enabling to lower, to a certain extent, the probability of formation of anthropogenic clouds or to stimulate creation of artificial clouds by making use of the aerodynamic wake and some reagents.
