    • Abstract:
      Researchers at Argonne National Laboratory, NOAA, and other Department of Energy-sponsored laboratories have developed an algorithm that will help researchers better predict cold pool events. A cloud-seeding flight on January 19, 2017, generated snow for about 67 minutes, dusting some 900 square miles of land with about a tenth of a millimeter of snow above what was falling naturally. This was barely enough snow to cling to the researchers' eyelashes, but it would have stayed in the air if not for cloud seeding. [Extracted from the article]
