Procedures for Initiatina Seeding <br /> <br />Development and refinement of procedures for forecasting seeding <br />periods (experimental units) will continuously evolve during the <br />five year project. A rather simple set of criteria have been <br />developed for declaring an experiment. These criteria include: <br /> <br />- indications of rime icing at any of the mountaintop <br />icing stations for a period of at least one hour. <br /> <br />- snow line is at or below 5,000 ft and the GUIDE model <br />output indicates the target is being treated. <br /> <br />If appropriate meteorological conditions are met and no <br />suspension is anticipated, seeding will begin from all ten sites. <br /> <br />Equipment reliability will be documented by the recording of <br />hourly status information transmitted by each dispenser back to <br />the poc throughout the field season. statistics are compiled by <br />monitoring software which can be summarized to determine the <br />percentage of time a particular dispenser may have been down. <br /> <br />Exploratory seeding will be conducted consisting of 6 hrs of <br />treatment once seeding begins. If conditions are still conducive <br />to seeding, seeding will terminate for 1 hr and then resume for 6 <br /> <br />13 <br />
