ABSTRACT
From 0615 to 0749 UTC 14 March 2000, an operation of cloud seeding for precipitation enhancement by aircraft was carried out in the middle part of Shaanxi Province, China. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)-14 satellite imagery was received at 0735 UTC for the study region. A vivid cloud track appeared on the satellite imagery; its length was about 350 km, and its average width and width maximum were 9 and 14 km, respectively. Through application of a three-dimensional numerical model of the transport and diffusion of the seeding material, the simulated plume shape, the turning points, and the width and length of seeding lines agree with that of the cloud ...
