Now the U.S. Air Force thinks that it has found a practical new weap on in the continuing fight against fog: the helicopter...
During research into the meteorology of fogs, scientists at the Air Force Cam bridge Research Laboratories in Bed ford, Mass., concluded that there might be a simple way to disperse mists that develop when moist air near the ground is cooled at night.
