Method using gas combustion for dispersing fogs; aviation not mentioned in a terribly explicit fashion, though it seems such a device might reasonably be transported by an airborne vessel; background: “While in command of the U. S. S. Albatross, and engaged in making deep sea explorations, I observed that in the great fog generating belt of the Behring Sea, in the Japan and Gulf streams, as well as in the polar currents, the fog is suspended in barely perceptible air currents near the surface of the water, and does not reach the higher altitudes at all.”

Inventor location (imputed by HistPat): Washington, DC (United States Navy), Washington, DC (FIPSloc=11001)
