*No seeding missions in April or May 2020.
June 2020
On June 19th, seeding operations were done over Southern Armstrong County (6 BIP flares) and Donley County (4 BIP flares) on two convective clouds between 5:36 pm and 5:47 pm (Total: 10 BIP flares).
A large system ingested the two seeded clouds. Counties benefited: Armstrong and Donley
July 2020
July 2, 2020 Seeding Mission:
On July 2nd, seeding operations were done over Potter County on five convective echoes between 3:23 pm and 3:59 pm (23 BIP flares); counties benefited: Potter, Carson, Armstrong, Gray and Donley.
July 4, 2020 Seeding Mission:
Seeding operations were conducted over Carson (12 BIP), Donley (10 BIP) and Armstrong (4 BIP) Counties between 3:20 pm and 4:15 pm on five convective cores located over Carson, Donley and Armstrong Counties. Seeding operations favored the aforementioned counties and also Gray County.
July 6, 2020 Seeding Mission:
Seeding operations were done on four small convection cores over Donley County between 4:13 p.m. and 9:36 p.m. with very good results.
July 24, 2020 Seeding Mission:
A first mission using aircraft 59P (Comanche) was deployed on 6 convective units over Armstrong and Carson Counties with excellent results. A total of 24 BIP flares were used (Armstrong: 16 BIP, Carson: 8 BIP)
A second mission with the same aircraft seeded 4 convective units over Potter, Carson and Gray Counties using 22 BIP and 1 Hygroscopic flares with excellent responses (Potter: 12 BIP, Carson: 2 BIP, Gray: 8 BIP and 1 Hygroscopic).
July 27, 2020 Seeding Mission:
Seeding operations on two convective units over Armstrong and Donley Counties were made using a total of 20 BIP flares and with excellent reactions (Armstrong: 4 BIP, Donley: 16 BIP)
July 28, 2020 Seeding Mission:
Seeding operations were made over two convective units over Gray County using 6 BIP flares and 1 Hygroscopic flare. The operation was interrupted due to problems with the radio communication.
August 2, 2020 Seeding Mission:
One mission using 78G (Aztec) was deployed over three convective cores over Gray and Carson County will excellent responses. A total of 20 BIP flares and 1 hygroscopic flare were used (Gray:12 BIP, 1 Hygroscopic; Carson: 8 BIP). The seeded storms drifted into Donley County about 4:30 pm and merged; later they went away into Hall County.
August 6, 2020 Seeding Mission:
Two convective cores were seeding in the afternoon over Carson and Potter Counties with excellent responses. A total of 19 BIP flares were used (Carson: 12 BIP, Potter: 7 BIP).
