Abstract
An attempt has been made to estimate the contribution of diffusiophoresis to the collision rate between silver iodide nuclei and cloud droplets growing under conditions simulating those in a natural cumulus cloud. Diffusiophoresis is shown to be of no practical importance and consequently certain limitations have been placed on the use of silver iodide as a cloud seeding agent.Keywords
