<br />.- ( <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />5.0 SEEDING OPERATIONS <br /> <br />The resjXJJ'lSibility of day to day seeding decisions rests <br />with the licensee, project director. He will base his decisions on <br />priority guidelines set by the Board and on rreteorological =nditions. <br />'!he basic rreteorological =iteria used to initiate or suspend seeding <br />operations are outlined in the follcwing paragraphs. <br /> <br />5.1 Seeding Criteria <br /> <br />The =iteria for selecting suitable cloud systems <br />for seeding will be based on an assesSlreIlt of multiple rreteorological <br />pararreters. Every weather system will be examined for seeding p:lten- <br />tial. Seeding will be initiated on the basis of the general =iteria <br />listed in Table I. <br /> <br />5.2 Suspension Criteria <br /> <br />5.2.1 Seeding to increase rain will not be <br />initiated or will be suspended when excessive rain is likely to occur. <br /> <br />5.2.2 The licensee, project director will take <br />cognizance of the sociological aspects of seeding when severe storms <br />are forecast or already exist. Hail suppression operations will be <br />conducted when beneficial results appear attainable and when flying <br />safety is not jeopardized. <br /> <br />5.2.3 Rain augmentation operations shall be sus- <br />pended when soil rroisture, as dete:anined by the Board, is adequate. <br />Seeding shall also be suspended at any tine the Board dete:anines that <br />weather rrodification activities are not considered beneficial to a <br />particular ccmnunity. <br /> <br />5.3 M=teorological Data <br /> <br />Types and sources of rreteorological data to be avail- <br />able at the ~ations Center are: <br /> <br />Hourly Cbservations - FSS, Garden city <br />Aviation Tenninal Forecasts - FSS, Garden City <br />Severe Weather Warnings, FSS, Garden city and <br />Ern Carputer Tenninal <br />Synoptic Surface & Upper Air Analysis - <br />EIl'l Carputer Terminal <br />Upper Air Prognostic Charts - Ern O:I1lputer Tenninal <br />NWS Rawinsonde Peports - Ern Canputer Tenninal <br />NWS Sounding Analysis - Ern O:I1lputer Teminal <br />
