Crystalline clouds

Nature, 1998, vol. 391, issue 6665, 340-340

Abstract: If only it could be sunny all of the time — even on a cloudy day. That's the aim of the ‘weather-brightener’, currently being developed by DREADCO. Droplets make up only 10 p.p.m. of a cloud's volume but, because they are arranged in a random array, the chances that a photon of light will hit one and be scattered are high. So Daedalus plans to use an intense radio signal to align the droplets, making a non-random array through which light can pass.
