Abstract

The initial stages of the formation of precipitation in uniform updrafts under natural and seeded conditions are examined using a detailed microphysical model of parcel ascent. The effects of seeding are related to the initiation of precipitation which is considered to be the rate-limiting step in the precipitation process. The times required to reach a 20 dBZ radar reflectivity factor are compared between natural and seeded casts. -Author
