Man-Made Weather Patterns in the Great Lakes Basin.

COM7311103

Publication Date	1972
Personal Author	Weickmann, H.
Page Count	10
Abstract	For the past 5 years the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has studied the weather modification potential of the Great Lakes region. Numerous observations of artificial rain and snowfall have been made in the Buffalo region of Lake Erie. Through systematic cloud seeding activities substantial amounts of precipitation could be added to Lake Michigan during wintertime which could easily accumulate to a 10 day supply at a present cost to the consumer of $3 million. During years of high lake level atmospheric water can be exported to other neighboring water sheds, or artificial snowfall can be targeted over skiing areas or cloud dissipating can be accomplished for the improvement of climate.
