| dc.description | Faced with high crop-hail insurance rates and large crop losses due to hail, farmers near the Bowman County area formed the Bowman-Slope Hail Suppression Association in 1961. No attempts to determine the effectiveness of
the Bowman-Slope cloud seeding program or the hailfall climatology of the area were made until 1965, when a preliminary investigation was undertaken. This article presents data culled from the 1965 whose objectives of were to determine the radar and hailfall climatology of seeded
and unseeded storms near the vicinity of a hail suppression project; to determine whether there were significant reductions in hail intensity due to the seeding program; and to determine whether precipitation was altered in the vicinity of the hail
suppression program. | |
