<br />seeding potential in future programs. Second, the data base result- <br /> <br />ing from these randomized projects is sufficiently large and complete <br /> <br />to give confidence that by using statistically sound techniques, <br /> <br />generalized seedability criteria can be found among projects. <br /> <br />This report describes the projects used in the seedability criteria <br /> <br />study, techniques used to develop and test a common data base, and <br /> <br />the results of this effort to date. Recommendations are included <br /> <br />for further research into generalized seedability criter~a as well <br /> <br />as their applications to future research and operational weather <br /> <br />modification efforts. <br /> <br />The report is divided into seven major sections followed by two <br /> <br />appendices. This section, section I, has provided an introduction <br /> <br />to the report. Section II, Background, will give the reader the <br /> <br />sources for the data used in this analysis. In addition, drawbacks <br /> <br />and compromises are discussed in arriving at a uniform data base. <br /> <br />Section III, Analysis, gives details of the parameterization of <br /> <br />for precipitation gage data; and a discussion of the statistical <br /> <br />l <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />the various projects; the explanation of the meteorological vari- <br /> <br />abIes used in this analysis; the location and chosen groupings <br /> <br />tools utilized in conducting the analysis. Section IV presents <br /> <br />the findings of single-variable statistics and stratifications. <br /> <br />In section V, the results of the window analyses are presented <br /> <br />4 <br />
