Abstract
Preliminary tests indicate that ocean water may release an abundance of ice nuclei to the atmosphere. These results may explain the observation that marked anomalies often accompany an influx of marine air in the Washington, D. C., area and the fact that abnormal counts are often associated with widespread precipitation.Keywords
