| Abstract | The Summer Cumulus Cloud Project is an airborne measurement program to assess the feasibility of inducing precipitation over forest fire areas by seeding large cumulus formations. The NAE Flight Research Laboratory is providing aircraft support in this program to the Forest Fire Research Institute and the Cloud Physics Research Division of Environment Canada. The T-33 turbulence research aircraft, the Twin Otter, and the Convair 580 flew a total of 66 hours in the first season of this study. This report reviews the NAE participation, outlines the data collection and analysis methods, presents data summaries, and recommends improvements for future studies of this nature. |
