Essentially, those storms that <br /> <br />do lead to potential ,consideration, as far as seeding,would <br /> <br />be those that result from primarily southerly winds and the <br /> <br />infrequent southeasterly wind and also a northwesterly wind <br /> <br />and northerly wind. <br /> <br />On this map, just from the standpoint of giving <br /> <br /> <br />some sort of\a frequency, it is anticipated that approxi... <br /> <br /> <br />mately 25 per cent of the 80 to 90 storms that occur over the <br /> <br /> <br />San Juan Mountains during a normal winter, .an average winter, <br /> <br />would be considered in this windflow and could potentially <br /> <br />be considered for operations in this Project Area. <br /> <br />So, !nitially, you are talking about somewhere <br /> <br />around maybe 20 to 25 storms, winter precipitation events, <br /> <br />that could be considered seeded under this project Area <br /> <br />design. <br /> <br />Because of other considerations, namely, tempera- <br /> <br />ture and winds at approximately the 14,000-foot level, which <br /> <br />would, if too strong, lead to an adverse effect in the Pro- <br /> <br />ject Area, these storms would be not seeded. <br /> <br />And considering this, the number of storms that <br /> <br />would be considered potential for seeding will quite likely <br /> <br />,be less than this figure of 20 to 2 5 each season. <br /> <br />The method of determining the favorable storms <br /> <br />-14- <br />
