Note générale :	As a result of the drought in south Florida in the spring of 1971, the Experimental Meteorology Laboratory (EML) undertook a dynamic cumulus seeding programin two target areas, one to the north and other to the south of lake Okeehobee. In the 61 days operational period from 1 April - 31 May, flights were conducted on 16 days, with actual seeding on 14 ays real time runs of the EML one dimensional cumulus model on the 1200 GMF Miami radio sonde eliminated 38 days as unseedable/ seven additional seed days might have been obtained had a buckup seeder aircraft been available althogether, 2066 50-gm agl flares are dropped into 196 cloud complexes. Evaluation is by rain gages and 10-cm radar, the WSR-57 of the National weather Services the calibrated radar of the university of Miami. Altogether seeded clouds produced about 180 000 acre-feet of rain.
