Water managers look to spur precipitation in the midst of record-breaking drought

Rain Enhancement Technologies, a company that’s operated in Oman, doesn’t use traditional cloud-seeding methods, which are characterized by putting silver iodide particles into the atmosphere. Instead, they do what they call “ionization cloud seeding,” which uses high-voltage rays to ionize naturally occurring aerosols in the atmosphere. Aerosols are necessary for cloud formation, and therefore, precipitation.

Water managers look to spur precipitation in the midst of record-breaking drought

Rain Enhancement Technologies, a private company, is testing a different approach to cloud seeding at a couple of project sites in the Rocky Mountains. The method is known as ionization cloud seeding and doesn’t use silver iodide.

Çin neden bulut tohumlamaya bu kadar yatırım yapıyor?

Çin, yağmurun ne zaman ve nerede yağacağını daha fazla kontrol edebilmek için bulut tohumlama çalışmalarını hızlandırıyor. Ancak bu iddialı plan hem bilimsel hem de jeopolitik açıdan tartışma yaratıyor. Yöntemin gerçekten ne kadar işe yaradığı ise hâlâ kesin değil.

Iran begins cloud seeding to induce rain amid historic drought

Authorities in Iran have sprayed clouds with chemicals to induce rain, in an attempt to combat the country's worst drought in decades.

Known as cloud-seeding, the process was conducted over the Urmia lake basin on Saturday, Iran's official news agency Irna reported.

Luftverschmutzung in Indien und Pakistan: Mit Flugzeugen gegen Smog – kann das funktionieren?

Giftiger Feinstaub hüllt Asiens Millionenstädten regelmäßig in dichten Smog, das kann lebensbedrohlich sein. Delhi und Lahore setzen dagegen Cloud-Seeding oder Anti-Smog-Kanonen ein. Was diese Methoden bringen.
