Weather modification in Southern Sierras
Historical account of 15 yr of continuous winter-time cloud seeding to enhance snowpack in upper San Joaquin watershed of southern Sierra Nevada; project was conducted by private meteorological consultant firm for large utility company interested in increased water resources for hydroelectric generation; equipment employed to generate artificial nuclei (silver iodide smoke) is described, and evolution of nuclei generator network into partially radio controlled system is discussed; evaluation of results in terms of enhanced runoff suggests that seasonal streamflow was increased by 8. 5%.
