Abstract This study used a model-based analysis with the Weather Research and Forecasting Model with the weather modification module (WRF-WxMod) to examine how thermodynamic, microphysical, and dynamical conditions influenced ground-based silver iodide (AgI) cloud seeding during intensive observation period 7 (IOP07) of …

Abstract The potential for cloud seeding to induce dynamic changes that alter cloud structure beyond basic ice formation processes has remained theoretical. While previous research hypothesized the presence of dynamic responses in seeded clouds, this study presents the first direct observational evidence …

Observations from recent field campaigns investigating glaciogenic cloud seeding demonstrate the process of silver iodide (AgI) dispersion through ice nucleation, crystal growth, then enhanced snowfall at the surface. These observations, combined with numerical simulations, were used to quantify seeding’s impact on enhancing …

Abstract Cloud seeding has been widely used for enhancing wintertime snowfall, particularly to augment water resources. This study examines microphysical responses to airborne glaciogenic seeding with silver iodide (AgI) during a specific case from the Seeded and Natural Orographic Wintertime Clouds: Idaho …

Abstract Cloud seeding of wintertime orographic clouds in the western United States has been attempted to enhance snow production and snowpack. Due to the scarcity of long-term, high-resolution cloud and precipitation observations over complex terrain, few studies have explored variations in orographic …

Intensive snowfall events (ISEs) have a profound impact on the society and economy in China during winter. Considering that the interaction between northerly cold advection and southerly water vapor transport (WVT) is generally an essential condition for the occurrence of ISEs in …
