<br />4.3.5. <br /> <br />Temperatures <br /> <br />Figure 20 shows temperatures at the bases and tops of seedable <br />moist layers that occurred at 'Denver, Colorado, from 1961 to 1966. <br />Also shown are the temperatures at the surface and the occurrence <br />or nonoccurrence of precipitation at the release of the rawinsonde, <br /> <br />which provided the data used in the figure. It is apparent that the <br />temperatures are highly variable from storm to storm and that natural <br />precipitation is most frequent when the cloud top temperatures are <br /> <br /> fSEEDABLE' MOIST LAYER TEMPERATURES <br />Temp (OC) Denver, Colorado <br />-15 - I I <br /> I J' tops I' <br /> I . .1 , <br /> I I I'I I <br /> I .1 I I' I · I I <br />-10 I II .
