Abstract
Abstract This paper presents some of the results obtained from a new analysis of the data collected during 1968 and 1970 by EML in the Florida cumulus modification experiment (the “single cloud” experiment). The most important new element in this analysis is the stratification of the data into categories based on cloud motion. Category 1 days are those displaying significant, relatively uniform cloud motion throughout the day. Category 2 days are those displaying no such motion. First the rainfall data are analyzed without regard to motion categories, the log-normal model is introduced, and evidence for multiplicative seeding factor is adduced and its value estimated. The data are also analyzed on a pairwise basis. Next the data are stratified by motion categories and the analysis repeated with categories. It is shown that although a log-normal model can still be applied within categories, there is no basis for assuming a multiplicative seeding factor within categories. It is shown that category 1 clouds ...
