Seeding of West Coast Winter Storms
Weather modification has emerged as an important engineering application of the science of meteorology. This paper describes both the manually operated silver-iodide smoke generator and the remote-controlled generator operated by radio. The dispersal of silver-iodide smoke from ground generators was determined from analysis of seeded storm precipitation patterns as related to air mass, wind, and thermal structure supplemented by weather radar observations. The role of natural nuclear in the generation of precipitation and the effects of seeding on precipitation efficiency is considered. Finally, the economic effects of cloud seeding are evaluated.
