Description:

Subsequently we investigate the evidence of seeding effects following Stormfury experiments. First we investigate the reasonableness of the seeding hypothesis on the background of the structure of a mature hurricane. These hurricanes have features which do not agree with the assumption that a hurricane is a convective storm - such as the widespread occurrence of a bright band in the RAE radar echo. We then discuss the life history of the storm and the seeding experiments; calling attention to the complex feedbacks between microphysics and storm dynamics. In the discussion of the individual seeding cases, we took great pain to quote the correct data for seeding location, seeding level and temperature, as well as seeding amounts and reported observations of seeding effects. The concluding chapter identifies our concern for some of the claims that have been made to suggest a positive seeding effect.
