The rapid glaciation of the <br /> <br /> <br />super-cooled regions of the cloud updraft releases the latent <br /> <br /> <br />heat contained in the super-cooled water. The release of the <br /> <br /> <br />latent heat of fusion is so slow as to not affect the cloud- <br /> <br /> <br />top, cloud turbulence or cloud updraft. The process leads to <br /> <br /> <br />more condensation, and a longer period of time for ice particle <br /> <br /> <br />collection to proceed. <br /> <br />Additional seeding releases are designed to expand <br /> <br />the area of rainfall by seeding the "new development" of the <br /> <br />cloud complex. The seeding brings the cloud system to its' <br />rain stage more quickly, expands the cool rain area, and if <br />positioned properly enthances the low level convergence of water <br />vapor into the cloud complex. If additional condensate is avail- <br />able, entrainment of dry air is not excessive and additional ice <br /> <br /> <br />crystals develop, then the clouds will continue to precipitate. <br /> <br /> <br />The lifetime of these clouds is usually determined by the amount <br /> <br /> <br />of dry air entrainment. <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />2.
