Design and Preliminary Results of the Wyoming Weather Modification Pilot Program Randomized Seeding Experiment
نویسنده
چکیده
The Wyoming Weather Modification Pilot Program (WWMPP) is funded by the State of Wyoming through the Wyoming Water Development Commission (WWDC), and is unique among statesponsored programs in the USA in that it includes a substantial evaluation component. The main purposes of the WWMPP are to establish an orographic cloud seeding program in three target areas (the Medicine Bow Range, Sierra Madre Range and Wind River Range) and evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of the cloud seeding. The logistics, infrastructure, and operations of the program are covered under a contract with Weather Modification Inc. (WMI), while the evaluation activities fall under a separate contract with the Research Applications Laboratory (RAL) of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR).

Cloud Seeding Experiment
The experimental data are the result of a series of weather modification experiments conducted in south Florida from 1968 to 1972. These experiments were designed to test a hypothesis that massive injection of silver iodide into cumulus clouds can, under specified conditions, lead to cumulus growth, thereby increased precipitation. On each of 52 days that were deemed suitable for cloud seeding,...

Rapeseed as one the most crops is the basic needs of human feeding in order to produce oil. A field experiment was conducted to study the effects of different tillage system, seeding method and rates on yield and its components, as well as, seed oil percentage of rapeseed (Brassica napus L. cv. Hyola-401) during 2011-12 growing season at Rice Research Institute of Iran-Department of Ma...
