<br />
<br />Rain and snow samples were collected at the eastern foothills of the Rocky Mountains and analyzed for
<br />chemical composition. Many precipitation samples had pH values considerably more acidic than the
<br />5.6 value of pure water containing only an equilibrium amount of atmospheric CO2, Clear and
<br />considerable dependencies of the acidity on seasonal synoptic scale weather patterns are demonstrated.
<br />Cloud water samples, collected by aircraft over eastern Colorado, also showed low pH values.
<br />The acidity of clouds was greatest near the city of Denver.

<br />
<br />Vast quantities of frequently updated weather data for both forecasting and now casting are generally
<br />required in meteorological field programs. The continuing synthesis of this data to suit specific
<br />operations is best accomplished using computers. Recent advances in telecommunications and computer
<br />hardware have allowed improved assimilation and presentation of weather data to remote field sites at
<br />significantly reduced costs. This paper describes a forecasting/nowcasting system designed and
<br />assembled to support a weather modification field project in Illinois. With minor modifications, this
<br />system can be located anywhere that has access to electrical power and standard telephone lines. The
<br />use of new technology with on-site computer capabilities allows rapid generation of products specifically
<br />tailored to meet the requirements of individual field projects, both for forecasting the operations and
<br />nowcasting during operations.

<br />
<br />This paper discusses ongoing research intended to develop a clearer understanding of the impact of
<br />weather modification on a portion of the agricultural sector of the U.S. economy, the feed-livestock
<br />complex. The research framework models the interactive effects of the changing weather, technology,
<br />government policies, and demand on market prices. Supply and demand relations may be estimated and
<br />solved within the context of a simultaneous equation econometric model. Within the model, crop yield
<br />response relations must be estimated at an appropriate level of geographical aggregation to ensure
