Airborne measurements undertaken in this research program have shown that an induced shower can yieid, between 5-12 million litres of water in a period of 20 minutes. A Gansa water bomber carnies out 3,600 litres of water. The objective of the res- earch is to determine whether rain can indeed be induced artificially. The experiment involves observing the phys- ical changes which occur withiln a c1oud following seeding. A typical target for the experiment is a cumu- liforni cloud about five km in diameter by three km. deep. Observations of the part- idles inside the cloud are ma de by sophisticated instru- ments on board a Twin Otter aircraft fiying about 300 metres beiow clou@ top. If ice crystals are flot foupd, the cloud is seeded by a T-33 aircraft using 350 grams of silver iodide. Following seed- ing, the Twin Otter again' enters the cloud to measure any changes in the composit- ion of cloud particles. minimum wae. mies, On August 1, 1978 new Minimum Wage rates wilI go into effect.
