Abstract

The unit of experimentation in the 1961–67 first Israeli rainfall stimulation experiment is described, including the changing definitions used. It is explained that the statistical analysis of the experimental result—which showed significant increases in precipitation under seeding—corresponded to the definitions used operationally for seeding.

This is published as a rebuttal of criticism which suggested biased a posteriori manipulation of units for analysis.
