<br />Utah/NOAA experiments. The depth of liquid was generally found to increase with height <br />across the windward slope of the Wasatch Plateau. On average the greatest liquid depth was <br />found above the highest point on the western edge of the Plateau. Scans and a limited number <br />of mobile experiments indicated that liquid was significantly depleted by precipitation across the <br />top of the Plateau. Addition mobile experiments are warranted to verify these observations. <br />A liquid cloud profile was developed from mobile radiometer experiments and cloud <br />seeding implications were outlined based on this liquid profile, a typical wind and temperature <br />situation, and some modeling results of ice particle growth. This model pointed out the critical <br />conditions of vertical transport, temperature and time that are necessary to produce seeding <br />effects on the Wasatch Plateau. Indications were that any seeding delivery system or seeding <br />agent that can speed the nucleation mechanism and allow more time for particle growth would <br />generally be beneficial to the operational seeding in Utah. <br /> <br />iv <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />) <br /> <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />
