From the text ... 'All aspects of NOAA's Florida Area Cumulus Experiment (FACE) are treated in this report to provide a summary of current progress and problems, and to serve as a basis for discussion by the scientific community...The FACE program is an outgrowth of the single cloud seeding experiments in Florida, the results of which demonstrated that "dynamic seeding*can be effective in increasing the sizes and lifetimes of individual cumuli and the localized rainfall resulting from them. The concept of seedability was central to this effort. As presently conceived, the FACE is a program to determine whether dynamic seeding can be used to augment precipitation over an extensive area (1.3 x 10 kTn2) by promoting larger and better organized convective systems. This is a logical progression from the early works on isolated cumuli.'
