Incus (species capillatus only): cumulonimbus with flat anvil-like cirriform top caused by wind shear where the rising air currents hit the inversion layer at the tropopause. [8] Mamma or mammatus: consisting of bubble-like protrusions on the underside. Tuba: column hanging from the cloud base which can develop into a funnel cloud or tornado ...
They report that in their simulation the seeded hurricane initially weakened the surface winds in the region of seeding. The eye of the hurricane eventually contracted and became stronger, but the average of the total wind field was weaker. In this best case scenario, they report that seeding reduced the hurricane-force winds by 25%. [5]
