Abstract: Industrial meteorologists started providing weather modification services in the late 1940s. The history of the problems and growth of these services from their experimental beginnings to their practical applications in ...

Abstract: Maps of hourly precipitation have been prepared for storms during the 1957?1960 Santa Barbara randomized seeding program. In non-seeded storms, they showed that approximately N?S oriented precipitation bands could be tracked ...

Abstract: In connection with cloud seeding projects in Pacific Coast states, detailed analyses have been prepared of many storms. From this material, average values of significant parameters have been computed and are employed to ...

Abstract: The data source for this study is a collection of five years of serial upper-air soundings taken during storms at five stations in the Southern California coastal and offshore region, along with supporting aerial, radar, ...

Abstract: Pacific storms entering Southern California have been intensely sampled and subjected to detailed investigation through a storm study program in the Santa Barbara area during the 1960?63 (inclusive) winter storm seasons. ...

Abstract: The physical basis for a relationship between orographic precipitation and air-mass characteristics, wind flow pattern and gross terrain features is outlined. Consideration is also given to the manner in which the precipitation ...

Abstract: A significant question bearing on the prediction of orographic precipitation and the seeding of orographic clouds is what fraction of the water condensed over an orographic barrier falls on the barrier as precipitation. ...

Abstract: The basic problems involved in the investigation of the effects of ?blocking action? upon the circulation pattern of the northern-hemisphere westerlies are defined and the mode of attack outlined. By application of turbulence ...

Abstract: Tests of the effectiveness of ground-released pyrotechnics in enhancing precipitation in storms in Santa Barbara County were conducted during the three winter seasons of 1967?68, 1968?69 and 1969?70. The mode of operation ...
