<br />SWCP: the Southwest Cooperative Project that has been conducted in West Texas during <br />portions of the summers of 1986, 1987, 1989, and 1990. This program is continuing. <br /> <br />TAS: true airspeed. <br /> <br />TCu: towering cumulus. <br /> <br />TRMDP: Thailand Rain Making Demonstration Project. <br /> <br />TRMM: Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission. <br /> <br />TMD: Thai Meteorological Department. <br /> <br />Treatment: The result of the randomization scheme which determines what action is to be <br />taken upon the experimental unit. The treatment will be either to seed convective cells <br />within the experimental unit or to consider the experimental unit as a control and conduct <br />simulated treatment. <br /> <br />Treatment unit: a convective cell within the experimental unit which meets the seeding <br />criteria ofliquid water content and updraft speed. The convective cell receives the treatment <br />(actual or simulated) and is the cell in which any treatment effect should first be detected. <br /> <br />TWG: Technical Working Group of the AARRP. <br /> <br />USAID: U.S. Agency for Intemational Development. <br /> <br />VOR/DME: very high frequency omni range/distance measuring equipment. <br /> <br />Warm Cloud: a cumulus cloud whose top never rises above the 0 oc level, and in which <br />precipitation development by collision and coalescence processes is dominant. <br /> <br />WMO: World Meteorological Organization. <br /> <br />WWC: Woodley Weather Consultants. <br /> <br />Vl11 <br />
