This book was released on 1979 with total page 53 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Data from a weather modification experiment are examined and a number of statistical analyses reported. The validity of earlier inferences is studied as are the utilities of various statistical methods. The experiment is described. The original analysis of North American Weather Consultants, who conducted the experiment, is reviewed. Data summarization is reported. A major approach to analysis is through the use of cloud-physics covariates in regression analyses. Finally, a multivariate analysis is discussed. It appears that the covariates may have been affected by treatment (cloud seeding) and that their use is invalid, not only reducing error variances but removing treatment effect. Some recommendations for improved design of similar future experiments are given in a concluding section, including preliminary trial use of blocking by storms. (Author).

This book was released on 1979 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper develops applications of multivariate statistical models, particularly principal component analysis, to the analysis of data from weather modification experiments. The efficacy of these multivariate applications is examined by applying the proposed models to data from Phase I of the Santa Barbara Convective Band Seeding Program conducted for the Navy by North American Weather Consultants. Multivariate summary measures of precipitation are developed and multivariate methods are given to analyze the effects of cloud-seeding on precipitation. Results from these models, based on the above-mentioned data set, are reported along with conclusions and suggestions for further work. An appendix provides detailed summary statistics for the analyses. (Author).

This book was released on 2004-01-16 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The weather on planet Earth is a vital and sometimes fatal force in human affairs. Efforts to control or reduce the harmful impacts of weather go back far in time. In this, the latest National Academies' assessment of weather modification, the committee was asked to assess the ability of current and proposed weather modification capabilities to provide beneficial impacts on water resource management and weather hazard mitigation. It examines new technologies, reviews advances in numerical modeling on the cloud and mesoscale, and considers how improvements in computer capabilities might be applied to weather modification. Critical Issues in Weather Modification Research examines the status of the science underlying weather modification in the United States. It calls for a coordinated national research program to answer fundamental questions about basic atmospheric processes and to address other issues that are impeding progress in weather modification.

This book was released on 1977 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A further analysis of the 1967-74 Santa Barbara weather modification experiment data is in progress in the Department of Statistics, Florida State University. The present report provides a nonparametric covariance analysis, of limited scope, of the Phase I experimental data. The findings tend to confirm, qualitatively, the North American Weather Consultants conclusions of a demonstrable seeding effect under selected conditions of cloud instability and cloud temperature. Quantitively, however, the present findings are more restrained. The analysis tends to suggest the need for improved experimental designs. (Author).
