註釋Cold Rain was the designation of the Air Force portion of a Bureau of Reclamation-directed operational rain-augmentation project designed to help alleviate severe drought conditions in south-central Texas. From 6 June 1971 until 30 June 1971, three Air Weather Service WC-130B aircraft, specially equipped to deliver pyrotechnic flares, carried out a total of 35 cloud-seeding missions. More than 1000 seeding penetrations were made into more than 250 individual cumulus towers and 2671 flares, each emitting 25 grams of nucleating silver-iodide smoke, were expended. The Cold Rain operations (from Kelly AFB) encompassed a geographical area of approximately 75,000 square miles.
