Any Expected Effects upon the Environment Resulting from the <br />Proposed Project and the Methods of Determining and Evaluating <br />These Effects <br /> <br />1. Expected Effects on the Environment <br /> <br />The amount of seeding for the proposed research will be on an <br /> <br />extremely limited basis. Cloud seeding will be performed on a <br /> <br />variety of days, a few of which will be favorable for increasing <br /> <br />precipitation. Many, if not most, will be conducted on days during <br /> <br />which no substantial change in precipitation would be anticipated. <br /> <br />Because of these factors, the net change in precipitation over the <br /> <br />period is expected to be near zero, In any case, because of the <br /> <br />limited amount of seeding, the expected chan~e in precipitation will <br /> <br />be well within climatological variances and should have little <br /> <br />effect on the environment. <br /> <br />2. Evaluation of Seeding Effects <br />The primary objective of this research is to make physical <br /> <br />measurements of ice nuclei, ice crystal concentrations and the <br /> <br />movement of seeding material. Changes in precipitation at the <br /> <br />surface will probably be too small to be quantitatively measured. <br /> <br /> <br />It is hoped that it will be possible to detect changes in radar <br /> <br />echoes snd snow crystal concentrations. <br /> <br />An extensive instrumentation network will be installed in and <br /> <br />upwind of the target area to provide an adequate data base for <br /> <br />analyses of research data. The instrument network will include, <br />
