Cloud Seeding Experiments in Australia

Abstract

Cloud seeding experiments in Australia were commenced in 1947 by the Radiophysics Division of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization, immediately following the pioneering work of Schaefer. Early tests using dry ice showed (Smith [5], Squires and Smith [13]) that cloud conditions favorable for seeding were relatively common but that the method, though effective, was comparatively costly and therefore of limited use for large areas.
