Accelerated impact of airborne glaciogenic seeding of stratiform clouds by turbulence [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and PhysicsSeveral recent studies have reported complete cloud glaciation induced by airborne-based glaciogenic cloud seeding over plains. Since turbulence is an important factor controlling mixed-phase clouds, including ice initiation, snow growth, and cloud ...

Electrical and microphysical responses to salt seeding in warm maritime cumulus clouds [PDF]
, 1981 Electrical, microphysical and dynamical responses to salt seeding have been investigated during cloud seeding experiments in several parts of India. Following massive salt seeding, increases in cloud temperature by I to 2 Celsius and cloud liquid water ...

Saliency-guided Adaptive Seeding for Supervoxel Segmentation
, 2017 We propose a new saliency-guided method for generating supervoxels in 3D space. Rather than using an evenly distributed spatial seeding procedure, our method uses visual saliency to guide the process of supervoxel generation.

Aircraft Observation of a Two-Layer Cloud and the Analysis of Cold Cloud Seeding Effect
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022 A two-layer stratus cloud was developed under the weather of an upper-level trough and return flow in North China. King-air 350 meteorological aircraft was designated to acquire the microphysical characteristics of this cloud. Within the lower-level warm

Estimating the concentration of silver iodide needed to detect unambiguous signatures of glaciogenic cloud seeding [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and PhysicsDetecting an unambiguous radar reflectivity signature is vital for investigating cloud-seeding impacts. The radar reflectivity change attributed to seeding depends on both the cloud conditions and the concentration of silver iodide (AgI) particles.
