<br />hail days, even if only an observation flight. Without more accurate <br /> <br />information regarding the time of any hail occurrence, usually little of <br /> <br />substance can be said pertaining to the adequacy of seeding particular <br /> <br />cloud systems. <br /> <br />The figures do show that on four of the six heaviest hail damage claim <br /> <br />days there was significantly greater flying and seeding than on most other <br /> <br />days. Also, see Table 2 in Section VI, May 13 and July 1 were two such <br /> <br />heavy days for which lower flying time and seeding time occurred. In both <br /> <br />cases only one aircraft was seeding the storm system producing the damage, <br /> <br />however, one aircraft alone could not be effective on storms of their <br /> <br />magnitude. There were special reasons why additional aircraft were not <br /> <br />able to assist at the appropriate time in order to substantially help <br /> <br />reduce hail on those days. Recommendations have been made later in this <br /> <br />same report to prevent similar future occurrences of the same nature. <br /> <br />The TOTAL PROJECT ACTIVITY SUMMARY in Appendix A, Table 1, provides <br /> <br />considerable informational detail useful in making various kinds of com- <br /> <br />parisons from time to time. Tables 2 and 3 in Appendix A provides further <br /> <br />updated information for inter-year comparative purposes. The three tables <br /> <br />of Appendix A show 1985 monthly operational figures were pretty much in <br /> <br />line with other years. However, 1985,April had the greatest number of <br /> <br />seeding days for the same half-monthly period of the eleven seasons. Also, <br /> <br />the amount of dry ice dispensed this year was marginally the lowest of . <br /> <br />the four years since it has been used on the WKWM program. <br /> <br />-17- <br />
