Variable parameters that are responsible for the production of rainfall such as lifetime, area, volume and rainfall mass of the cloud pairs all show increases in favor of the seeded case. the slide above shows that the seeded cloud lasted longer that the unseeded cloud. after an hour and a half the seeded cloud has a larger volume than its control. the windows on the right side of the slide show the radar estimated rainfall. the seeded case shows a larger core of rainfall with the yellows and reds indicating more rainfall accumulations. the rainfall in the unseeded cloud shows sparse and sporadic rainfall.
