Forecasting and Verifying in a Field Research Project: DOPLIGHT '87
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Verification of forecasts during research field experiments is discussed and exemplified using the DOPLIGHT '87 experiment. We stress the importance of forecast verification if forecasting is to be a serious component of ...
Ratio Estimators and Some Inherent Problems in Their Utilization
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Ratio estimators are widely utilized in the physical and atmospheric sciences, although their properties and inherent problems are often unknown or overlooked. A number of problems and properties of ratio estimators are ...
Criteria and Methods for Performing and Evaluating Solar-Weather Studies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Research criteria and methods are presented for performing and evaluating the growing discipline of solar-weather studies. A clear distinction among preliminary, exploratory, and confirmatory studies is presented, and it ...
The Florida Area Cumulus Experiment's Second Phase (FACE-2). Part II: Replicated and Confirmatory Analyses
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: FACE-2 was a confirmatory weather modification experiment conducted in south Florida in the three summers of 1978, 1979 and 1980. The results of the FACE-2 replicated and pre-specified confirmatory rainfall analyses are ...
Exploration of Extended-Area Treatment Effects in FACE-2 Using Satellite Imagery
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The second phase of the Florida Area Cumulus Experiment (FACE-2) has been completed and an exploratory analysis has been conducted to investigate the possibility that cloud seeding may have affected the rainfall outside ...
The Florida Area Cumulus Experiment's Second Phase (FACE-2). Part I: The Experimental Design, Implementation and Basic Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Florida Area Cumulus Experiment (FACE) is a single area, randomized experiment designed to assess the ground-level rainfall effects of dynamic cloud seeding in summer on the south Florida peninsula. The second phase ...
Clarification of Confirmation in the FACE-2 Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Florida Area cumulus Experiment (FACE) is a long-term program to determine the potential of dynamic seeding for increasing convective rainfall over a fixed target area. The first phase of FACE (FACE-1) provided strong ...
Aircraft Observations of Transport and Diffusion in Cumulus Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A gaseous tracer, sulfur hexafluoride, was used to follow the path of two different AgI cloud seeding aerosols in cumulus clouds. The materials were released at cloud base or midlevels. Plumes sampled at midlevels were ...
