Artificial fogs grown on hygroscopic alkali halide (Salty Dog) nuclei were produced over the North Atlantic Ocean using 180 pound pyrotechnic generators deployed from the USNS LYNCH. Canopy Clouds were produced when heat from the burn carried the material aloft, if the relative wind at the ship was...
