What this source contributes.
Charge injection changed a small-droplet population in natural fog. The reported increase in one size bin does not establish more rainfall or improved visibility.

Primary material consulted
This is a bounded reading note. It is not independent replication, a full systematic review or an endorsement of every conclusion in the paper.
Questions to take to the paper
- Where is the delivered charge measured?
- How do polarity, humidity and background aerosol alter the response?
- Can a local microphysical effect be separated from changing weather?
Keep the evidence attached to its setting.
A simulation, chamber result, field observation and operational outcome answer different questions. Record the comparator, measured quantity and conditions before carrying a result into a design.
