Effects of Cloud-Top Temperature on the Results of Cloud Seeding with Silver Iodide in Australia
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Analysis of three cloud seeding experiments over areas of Australia suggests that results varied with cloud-top temperature; when cumulus and similar clouds had top temperatures ??10C rainfall was increased by seeding, but ...
A Cloud-Seeding Experiment in South Australia
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A cloud-seeding experiment was conducted in South Australia from 1957 to 1959 inclusive in which clouds over one of two areas were seeded with silver-iodide smoke released from an aircraft, with random choice of area. No ...
A Cloud-Seeding Experiment in the Snowy Mountains, Australia
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A cloud-seeding experiment was conducted in the Snowy Mountains of Australia from 1955?1959 inclusive. The objective was to determine if silver-iodide smoke released from an aircraft into clouds could increase the precipitation ...
THE DECAY OF ICE-NUCLEATING PROPERTIES OF SILVER IODIDE IN THE ATMOSPHERE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Finely divided zinc sulfide and freezing nuclei in the form of silver-iodide smoke were released from separate generators at the same time from the same position on the ground. Both were detected simultaneously at distances ...
A Cloud-Seeding Experiment in New England, Australia
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: From 1958 to 1963 an experiment was conducted in the New England region of Australia, in which clouds were seeded with silver iodide smoke released from an aircraft. Clouds over two areas were seeded, with random choice ...
Effects of Seeding Isolated Cumulus Clouds with Silver Iodide
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Isolated cumulus clouds with supercooled tops were seeded from an aircraft. Either a large (20 gm), small (0.2 gm) or zero quantity of silver iodide was used, with random choice of treatment. The amount of rain which fell ...
Performance Measurements of Silver-Iodide Smoke Generators on Aircraft
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The performance of a silver iodide smoke generator, mounted on an aircraft, was measured in flight. The ice-nucleus output was 1014 per gram of silver iodide active at ?15C and 1012 at ?10C. Considerable variations in the ...
A Cloud-Seeding Experiment in Tasmania
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A cloud-seeding experiment was conducted in Tasmania using a target area and three control areas. Seeding was on a random basis using silver-iodide smoke released from an aircraft. Evidence is presented that seeding increased ...
