CLOUD SYSTEMS AND PRECIPITATION PROCESSES IN PACIFIC COAST STORMSSource: Monthly Weather Review:;1956:;volume( 084 ):;issue: 012::page 421Author:HOECKER, WALTER H.

Abstract: From the records obtained during the Weather Bureau Artificial Cloud Nucleation Project carried out in western Washington State during the winters of 1952?53 and 1953?54, it is possible to study the nature of some of the precipitation processes evident in that locality, and to form a preliminary generalized picture of certain types of cloud systems involved. Evidence is presented of natural seeding mechanisms and of the growth of hydrometeors by diffusion, coalescence, aggregation, and accretion. Typical wintertime cloud systems, and the attendant precipitation processes are illustrated.
