The simulated pristine ice crystal concentrations for the seeded run at 3000 m MSL on grid 3 at (a) 1920, (b) 1940, and (c) 2000 <br />UTC, with a contour interval of20 L-1. (d) Pristine ice crystal concentrations from the nonseeded run at 2000 UTC with-a" contour interval <br />of5 L-'. <br /> <br />with peak values of 0.05 g kg-I, more than double the <br />values predicted in the nonseeded run. The aggregate <br />mixing ratio maximum (not shown) was produced <br />downstream of the pristine ice mixing ratio peak, with <br />peak values in the seeded run of 0.02 g kg-I. The non- <br />seeded run produced negligible aggregation at this ver- <br />tical level. <br />Since the exact location and times of the observed <br />seed releases were different than the one seed release <br />in the numerical experiment, spatial verification of the <br />observed precipitation distribution was not considered. <br /> <br />However, comparisons between the seeded and non- <br />seeded precipitation distributions demonstrating the <br />sensitivity of the seeding was examined. Figure 10 <br />shows the precipitation difference between the seeded <br />simulation and the nonseeded simulation by 2200 <br />UTe. Differences in the precipitation amounts between <br />the two runs showed that for this case, the increases <br />due to the cloud seeding did not necessarily take pre- <br />cipitation from another location. Only one small area <br />of minima occurred that had more precipitation in the <br />nonseeded run than the seeded run. Simulated precip- <br />
