The Extra-Area Effect of Orographic Cloud Seeding: Observational Evidence of Precipitation Enhancement Downwind of the Target Mountain
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: his study uses scanning X-band Doppler on Wheels (DOW) radar data to examine whether ground-based glaciogenic seeding influences orographic precipitation, inadvertently, over the foothills of a mountain ~50 km downwind of ...
Microphysical Effects of Wintertime Cloud Seeding with Silver Iodide over the Rocky Mountains. Part III: Observations over the Grand Mesa, Colorado
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During March 1986, several airborne and ground-based silver iodide (AgI) seeding experiments were conducted over the Grand Mesa, Colorado, during a three-day period of northerly flow and shallow orographic cloud. While ...
Evaluating Winter Orographic Cloud Seeding: Design of the Wyoming Weather Modification Pilot Project (WWMPP)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n overview of the Wyoming Weather Modification Pilot Project (WWMPP) is presented. This project, funded by the State of Wyoming, is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of cloud seeding with silver iodide in the Medicine ...
The Dispersion of Silver Iodide Particles from Ground-Based Generators over Complex Terrain. Part II: WRF Large-Eddy Simulations versus Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: numerical modeling study has been conducted to explore the ability of the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model-based large-eddy simulation (LES) with 100-m grid spacing to reproduce silver iodide (AgI) particle ...
Weather Modification: Finding Common Ground
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Research and operational approaches to weather modification expressed in the National Research Council's 2003 report on ?Critical Issues in Weather Modification Research? and in the Weather Modification Association's ...
Microphysical Effects of Wintertime Cloud Seeding with Silver Iodide over the Rocky Mountains. Part I: Experimental Design and Instrumentation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A series of winter orographic cloud seeding experiments is described in which the seeding agent and associated changes in cloud microphysics are monitored to within 300 m of the target areas (Montana and Colorado), and at ...
An Exploratory Analysis of Crop Hail Insurance Data for Evidence of Cloud Seeding Effects in North Dakota
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The basis for the cloud seeding operations of the North Dakota Cloud Modification Project (NDCMP) is first outlined. Then the multiresponse permutation procedures are applied in an analysis of crop hail insurance data for ...
The Dispersion of Silver Iodide Particles from Ground-Based Generators over Complex Terrain. Part I: Observations with Acoustic Ice Nucleus Counters
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: art I of this paper presents the results from a series of plume-tracing flights over the Medicine Bow and Sierra Madre Ranges in south-central Wyoming. These flights, conducted during February and early March of 2011, were ...
The North Dakota Thunderstorm Project: A Cooperative Study of High Plains Thunderstorms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The North Dakota Thunderstorm Project was conducted in the Bismarck, North Dakota, area from 12 June through 22 July 1989. The project deployed Doppler radars, cloud physics aircraft, and supporting instrumentation to study ...
