Research on Evolving Design and Evaluation of the HIPLEX (High Plains Cooperative Program) Program: Final Technical Report

摘要

This report summarizes five years of research related to the design, conduct, and evaluation of the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation's HIPLEX program. Most of this research concerned the HIPLEX-1 experiment that involved randomized seeding of small Montana cumulus congestus clouds with dry ice. The report discusses the design, conduct, and response variables of HIPLEX-1 and presents a statistical evaluation of the experiment.
