Abstract
From 1958 to 1963 an experiment was conducted in the New England region of Australia, in which clouds were seeded with silver iodide smoke released from an aircraft. Clouds over two areas were seeded, with random choice of area. Rainfall measurements in the two areas suggest that seeding increased the rainfall during the first year, but no net changes in rainfall could be detected in subsequent years. The seeding appears to have increased the variability of rainfall.
