Abstract

An investigation was performed to evaluate statistically the  results of the first four years of an ongoing hail suppression project in Texas so as to gain information relative to a decision on a future  hail suppression effort in Illinois. Continuous hail suppression  operations over a 4-year period and in a fixed area offer a good  opportunity to assess the effects of cloud base seeding as reflected  in surface hail data. Two sets of hail data with long-term historical  records in and around the 2-county area in Texas with hail  suppression projects in the 1970-73 period were investigated.
