Summary <br /> <br />Despite the fact that a significant amount of information has been <br />assembled concerning the natural struoture of cloud systems over the <br />mountains of the western United States, our knowledge of natural cloud <br />system processes is still fundamentally weak. This is particularly true <br />--:---...-.,-~- <br /> <br />for olouds which develop over the Colorado River Basin. It is important <br />~-;-_.--o;.".."...,.=,__' <br /> <br />that the results of past, ongoing and future programs be incorporated <br /> <br />into a comprehensive model of natural precipitation formation and <br /> <br />development. With this background, the true potential of weather <br /> <br />modification to supplement the water resources of the Colorado River <br /> <br />Basin can be assessed. This work is one contribution toward that end. <br /> <br />
