State whether the following is true or false.
Releasing silver iodide into cloud warmer than about minus four degrees achieves little.

  • A.False
  • B.True only at large scales
  • C.False only at small scales
  • D.True

Answer: D

Correct answer: True

Above about −4 or −5 degrees the agent nucleates almost nothing, so releasing it there accomplishes nothing whatever. Seeding requires the target volume to be colder than the agent’s threshold, which is why the vertical temperature structure of the cloud must be known before an operation.
