<br />
<br />A wintertime ground-based cloud seeding experiment conducted as part of the 1989 Utah/NOAA
<br />cooperative weather modification program is described. The results from one experiment on 3 February
<br />1989 are presented. Meteorological conditions led to the development of orographic clouds over the
<br />Tushar Mountains of southern Utah which appeared to be nearly ideal for seeding operalions.
<br />Radiometrically measured liquid water was abundant in the vicinity of seeding generators and the water
<br />appeared to be sufficiently supercooled to enable nucleation by silver iodide.
<br />
<br />The experiment entailed pulsed releases of silver iodide from high altitude generators located on upwind
<br />ridges of the Tushar Mountains. A Ka-band radar, aspirated PMS 2D-C probe, and manual
<br />microphysics observations were used to monitor precipitation 10-13 Ian downwind of the seeding
<br />generators. Snow samples were also collected periodilcally and analyzed for silver content. The overall
<br />results were disconcerting in that two estimated periods of effect showed no enhanced silver content,
<br />and no clear microphysical or radar seeding signatures due to large background variability produced by
<br />a propagating mesoscale cloud feature, and natural sniDW characteristics which resembled the expected
<br />characteristics due to seeding. A third period of effect had apparent microphysical and radar signatures,
<br />but also lacked the presence of silver in the snow. Targeting of the single downwind ground target
<br />apparently failed in this case due to inadequate wind documentation in the cloud layer, r1emote-generator
<br />malfunction, or fallout of the seeded plume upwind of the target.
