Abstract

Raindrop size distributions were measured at cloud base during the 1971–73 Florida Area Cumulus Experiment to study the effect of cloud seeding on the Z-R relationship. The Z-R points derived from the “seeded” distributions appear within the 95% confidence limits for the Z-R relationship and well within the natural variability of Z-R points on a day-to-day basis.
