    Relation between precip forecasts and cloudseeding?

    Does anybody on here know and have the time/ability to explain to a layperson how precipitation forecasts are affected by cloudseeding? Are there two versions of precipitation model outputs, one w/ and one w/o cloudseeding scenarios? Do forecasters just increase the model output numbers a certain percent during seasons where cloudseeding is occurring? I know next to nothing about weather forecasting models and or cloudseeding practices. Also, aren’t forecasting models being updated as more data becomes available? How does cloudseeding play into that process?

    I began thinking about this question even before this season went crazy in california, when it was discussed in another thread sometime in the early autumn, if I remember correct.

    I’m not even sure this (tech talk) is the correct forum.

    TIA and cheers
