The operation of aircraft may modify cloud and precipitation parameters sufficiently to cause a significant deterioration of visibility at an airfield. The conditions conducive to this effect are (1) large number of aircraft operating simultaneously in the vicinity of the airfield, (2) low temperatures, (3) light winds. An incident at Goose Bay on December 4th, 1954, is discussed in the light of the above analysis.
