Abstract: A single case-study of a winter orographic cloud over the central Sierra Nevada is presented in which the effects of aerial seeding with silver iodide, an AgI NH4C1O4 mixture burned in acetone, were observed to persist for ...

Abstract: The amount of solar energy reflected from various soils and types of vegetation has been measured as a function of sun elevation in six different wavelength ranges in the ultraviolet, visible and near-infrared regions of ...

Abstract: A technique is developed to digitally composite satellite and radar imagery in a common coordinate reference frame. Results obtained from using Geosynchronous Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) visible and infrared ...

Abstract: The Sierra Cooperative Pilot Project (SCPP) is an investigation of cloud seeding as a means of increasing winter precipitation on the Sierra Nevada. It is a concerted effort in the development of a physically sound ...

Abstract: A small subset of midlatitude, midwinter precipitation events affecting the central Sierra Nevada are analyzed. The examples given are representative of 60% of the storm types documented during the past 4 yr of the Sierra ...
